Rumors of Hiring
This has popped up in e-mail and comments:
- Anonymous said...Rumor from R&D that the budget for SGt and LT has been raised. They are adding 100 new LT's and 250 Sgt.
We've heard the same thing with slightly lower and higher numbers. We've also gotten word that the uniform stores across the city have been told to pre-order equipment for a hiring wave of 1,000 starting early next year. And all of this is before any mention of a Detectives class or the DOJ final report, which everyone knows is going to call for increase supervisory ranks.
So with the "55 and out" provision expiring next year, does anyone have definitive number of people leaving? The lowest number we've heard is 600, the highest at just around 1,000. So this hiring "wave" is, once again, barely going to cover retirements.

There goes my seniority. Who hooo
How high will they go from the Sgt's test? 450-500?
so, promoting 100 sgts to Lts means only 150 new sgts.
Is that 100 lieutenants in addition to the 50 or so more cheaters coming down the pipe?
This is 100percent true. This is straight from DOJ
Ultimately the want 1 Sgt per 8 po's
And 3 lt' per watch.
They are going to make a Sgts class in the next two to three weeks of 70 to 100.
Anyone hear any runors about a sergeant class? I heard a class to be made the week after labor day.
How come there is no shortage of chiefs, deputies, commanders and captains?? But plenty of shortages of sergeants, detectives, evidence technicians, and patrol officers???
They always tell us "patrol" is the "backbone" of the department? If that is so, why is the backbone getting weaker and the weight to carry is getting heavier??
when the backbone is weakened far enough, the body will tumble and everything will fall with it.....
Unless your name is escalante, mcnaughton, gulliford, tobias, etc.,......
Great. 1000 more half assed trained recruits who will do 3 years in an impact zone/foot spot then come to the watch as super cops.
By 2025, there will be four thousand Sergeants, four thousand Lieutenants, and five thousand other supervisors supervising one patrol officer. That poor mofo is going to be busy!
Where are they going to find enough clouted clowns to fill the spots?
Did anyone see the BOP which requests officers to work in your district on your RDO the weekend of Labor Day? They are scared. Next will be cancelled days off
Don't forget about the 120 probationial officers that are going to get moved to 016 in the next couple months.
It is true about hiring, a female family friend failed her 1st power test due to having 15 lbs added to her press weight. She complained and told them the weight was wrong to no avail. After over a year the whole group of those who failed were retested, she passes that, the polygraph and she has a final power test v next monrh.
stop the cheaters Now! Anybody!
SCC:
The 55 and out isn't "expiring" next year it's only the 0% that's going away.
After June the 55 and out goes from 0% to 2% but the 55 and out provision doesn't completely go away.
NOBLE is licking its chops.
Translation: If you were under about 550 on the last sgts test or under about 210 on the Lt test, you should make it. Also means another 75 more merit sgts and 30 more merit Lt's.
The sergeant that actually scored #1 on the lieutenants exam should be getting promoted very soon. Congrats to you. Sorry you had to wait. It's all legit.
They will continue to send these new ppos up north until we start to speak up and loudly. If not it will continue and only 003/004 and 005 will have bid openings. What is our union doing other then sitting on their hands.
Quit complaint about the new police. One they pay into the pension. Two they give you senority. Three they'll do the stuff you don't want to do. Four they'll eventually learn what to do and what not to do. Just like you and I did. And if they don't then Eddie will surely strip and fire them. How about you talk to them explain your experiences, maybe even mentor them instead of whining like a bitch. Everyone was new at one time.
"Great. 1000 more half assed trained recruits who will do 3 years in an impact zone/foot spot then come to the watch as super cops."
Impact zones were eradicated with the firing of McCarthy.
116 working days, not that I'm counting.
9161-9,290
9164-114
9165-863
9171-1,167
9173-215
9175-34
In all other units a total of...12,045 from special Ed to the newest recruit...
The real indicator is at the uniform stores. One store on the Northwest Side has boxes filled with new uniforms, and they have been told to stock-up and expect a flood of new customers. Perhaps the analogy of stocking-up on body bags before an operation would be appropriate! Stay Fetal, Stay Fetal; Chicago Values! Oh, one more point; I hope all of you who were implying that Rahm's kid was cutting a dope deal when he got his little Wanna Be ass kicked. That woman getting robbed is proof, the kid really was talking to his counselor, when he sustained that vicious random attack. Baby"G"

Why do I have trouble believing rumors that come from someone who uses words like "probationial?"
Fuck, what am I saying? You're probably a Chief of something... a NOBLE one. Sorry, boss.
And this will allow the cheaters on the Lieutenant's exam to blend in. The scandal, which is the best indicator of what is wrong with this corrupt PD, will never receive the illumination it deserves. The cheats will move up, they will drag the little suckholes who also cheated by way of the trickle down scraps they obtained from the first line cheaters, and we will move forward under he supervision and policy decisions of a bunch of mental midgets. The political power brokers, will continue to maintain the true power structure that exist where they are in control by way of nepotism run amok ; not only because they gifted a bunch of idiots a free job as a merit pick, but because they gave even those more cognitively challenged the answers to the test .
Put it together, Merit + Cheaters = a fucked up PD.
Since when does R and D have anything to do with promotions?
Great. 1000 more half assed trained recruits who will do 3 years in an impact zone/foot spot then come to the watch as super cops.
You were one of these "half assed" recruits at one time.... remember?
Hoping they make about 275 more sgts off the list

8/27/2016 02:11:00 AM
The cancelled RDO's has already started.
So we were told last night that all RDOs for units and tac are cancelled for next weekend. So of course I put in a slip for an alternate day off. Same number of days worked but more pay. This city has idiots running it.
Congratulations, your a part of the worst police department ever, fake bosses, no leadership, unworthy bosses, Mayor, public. Great job asshole. Don't forget your activity for VRI. HAHAHAHA!!!!
They are adding 100 Lts to the budget don't forget there are 70+ with par forms in for 55 out in October. That means roughly 170+ Lts to be promoted over next year and half. Expect the entire rank to be turned over soon.
Listen, this talk of increased sgts and lts is not true yet!!! I am a rep for the sgts Union. We have been begging for more sgts, the city said its not happening. Plus R and D has nothing to do with promotions. It would be human resources and personnel
Patrol is not he backbone of the police department. Patrol is actually a few inches lower on the anatomy.
Rumor is right!!! Signed someone who knows .
Coming down the pipe. Cancelled days off for tact teams 2,3,4 and 5 sept. Also, sept is changing hours to start them later so they can cover the more violent hours. Is this going to get covered in Media or is this FOP unity day going to be kept quiet due to the department using the tact,gang, gun and sat teams to cover their shortages? Will anyone even notice now?

By design to block senior officers trapped in the "community"
from bidding out?
Da Communerty say:

Just reference the fibune article about those bunch

"We can Po-leece ourse'f!"
"de-Fund da Po-leece an' gibs

Give them nothing but a good leaving behind.

8/27/2016 12:40:00 AM
Where have I seen this before? What's old is new again. The problem with 3 Lt's on the watch is who is charge. This was done in Austin in the 90's. Did not work well. You need a captain and a chain of command.
I haven't submitted my paperwork to retire yet. It's not due until October. The numbers aren't accurate until then
I'm leaving this hell hole of a city, county, and state!
Really...???? More supervisors? This ship is going to capsize if it gets any more top heavy. With the attrition of the department in recent years, the answer is we need more supervisors? How about a supervisor in every car? That will help. Better yet, make everyone a supervisor. Then they can stop wondering if there is enough out there.
I wonder if they can even find enough PO's to actually take the job anymore. It sounds like yet another department position has been completely ruined.
Please tell me again how this is the "greatest department in the nation"...I heard that on my first day in the academy. I am beginning to doubt...
Rumor. Only rumor. Nobody in this department said this is true or any plans are in the works
They got what they wanted. Out with the old and in with the new. They have demonized the old as too violent, too quick to shoot. Racist!
What they will usher in is a Department too afraid to act. With the Department cheating scandal, whole groups of people that were given the answers, that is a good thing. You're immediate supervisor, the most important in the Department, is not qualified to help you. You will not have the best and the brightest supervisors. You will have the politically correct supervisors so the Progressives can sleep well.
So who suffers here? The average citizen. The good people that work and pay their taxes. The ones that are too old to protect themselves or move. But they are the ones that let this happen. They did not do their homework and vote accordingly. They brought this on themselves and it is being repeated through every urban area in this Country.
The definition of insanity: doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different outcome. It is overused but oh so true.
How about opening bids across the city so officers can move about and not be trapt in the same district for years.
765B
Hiring (or appointing) to meet a particular mandated need.
This is not a fair and square method.
Score and ranking will have little to do with the process.
Is this making up for the 200 Sergeant positions that Rahm cut when he first became Mayor, in order to balance the budget.
Does DOJ know this?
Do they know at times you have only 1 or 2 sergeants in a district supervising an entire watch? And at the same time no Lt either.
Do they know this?
How come there is no shortage of chiefs, deputies, commanders and captains?? But plenty of shortages of sergeants, detectives, evidence technicians, and patrol officers???
Used to have a captain on every watch the last time the districts ran right. Please just dont hire any more these idiots that dont do nothin and couldnt get a job at mc donalds if the weren't the police. Because they eventually become do nothing detectives, sergeants, ECT
any idea or rumors about the first detective class or at least the release of the scores?? You would think that would be a priority with a 38% clearance rate and the lowest clearance rate in the nation.

Too late. Days off cancelled for tact and Sat teams Friday through Monday. Blue flu is the only answer to that.
Anyone else hear the rumor that Calea and Dept. of Justice wanted promotional tests every three years to keep the list and tested material fresh? I've heard it from a few different sources that there will be a new sergeant exam by the beginning of next year, but it's probably a bullshit rumor.
I'll believe it when I finally see a CPD car in my neighborhood.
On the front page of the local newspaper dna-Dunning.
"Police Warn of Garage Burglaries"
Lack of manpower in the 16th and 25th Districts, down cars, little supervision, overburdened with BS paperwork. See a connection, but Rahm will spend the money on flower boxes and bike trails.
How high will they go from the Sgt's test? 450-500?

"The city will make 500 sergeants."

By the way . . he lied.
Give a test that is graded before you leave building .
PBPA request FOIA on all paper work of every person that was promoted by the Merit , Clout System .
Request scores from every test current and past exempts scored for Sgt. Lt.
Captain all appointed .
Next will be cancelled days off

Either way you shouldn't hold your breath for those "probational" police officers you quoted.
Putz.
This city needs a political enema where Rahm and his 50 alderthieves go swirling down the toilet.
Sounds like BS. r and d does not do promotions
ORDER JUST CAME OUT- all tac teams and units, are mandatory DOG cancelled because of low VRI volunteers
Chicago does not need more police. We can be like New York, with posters hung up urging the "community" not to shoot, stab or engage in violent behavior over the Labor Day Weekend.
http://nypost.com/2016/08/26/cops-urge-jouvert-revelers-to-refrain-from-violence/
It's sad that the police has become so castrated that this is their only solution to violence.
019 needs more man power
Last night the tactical lt was calling for one of his cars to assist him at 4:45 am on a Friday night and not one car answered up because they all had went home already!
Why even have tactical teams. There are 5 teams 50 po's 5 sgt's 2 tact secretaries
dump em all to the watch.
Just make roving saturation teams that respond to needed areas. 019 is a ghost town during the week. The saturation teams can work there on the weekends and stay until 7 am when the robberies are happening since they are on 10 hour days.
90% of 019 district tactical teams are gone by 3 am when the robberies are occurring at 5-6 am they are sleeping

Thats another bullshit rumor.is calea accreditation a good thing? Maybe, but the implementations are very expensive and unrealistic for a dept this big. As u might imagine testing every 3 years is expensive and at the rate it takes them to "grade", it's unrealistic. look up the standards online and see for yourself how a lot of that stuff doesn't make sense for us nor is it realistic.Want to know a little secret about why the dept started the calea process? McCompstat was expecting a job in the calea board after leaving cpd if he had gotten the dept accredited.obviously this didn't pan out.

Guess what Mr. Union Rep, the city treats the unions like mushrooms, they keep you in the dark and feed you shit. I recall a Sgt's Union meeting last year where we asked when the Lt's test results would be out. Jim Ade said they spoke to the city the day before and the city told the union it didn't have the results yet and didn't know when to expect them. We got our results two days later. The city withholds information from the unions all the time, as a union rep you should get a better clue who you are dealing with. I would rely more on the information "Manny" at the uniform shop has than anything the union might have.
450 legit Sgt's will be made. You must be under this number. Don't believe these bullshit rumors going around
I'm beginning to think this department is something of a big clusterf#$k...FUBAR to the point of Agony!
We have been told time and time again how 1000 more officers will be put on the streets. HQ will be pared down to essential personnel only. The medical rolls will be pared down. Blah-Blah-Blah....
We have closed districts, and two areas. And we are still severely shorthanded. Down about 3-4000 personnel from 10 years ago. Depending on your source.
And the Department wants more supervisors...
"Send in the clowns...there ought to be clowns..." Well maybe next year..."
At this point I will settle for seeing a boy scout with a stern look on his face in 016....

Bullshit rumor. If you'd like to know when a test is coming pay special attention when people like BERNSTEIN start putting out ads in various mediums ( police magazines, emails etc). Last sgts test was administered in Jan 2014. No test is going to come out until at least another 3-4 yrs. Maybe longer. As far as ive heard all promotional tests are done for awhile. Every testable position has been completed. Dicks test results are the only thing everyone is waiting for to be sent out. New sgts test wont be for awhile. As it stands they are only on # 166 from the list anyway. They end this sgts list somewhere after 425-450 seeing as the DOJ wants increased supervision across the board. The Lt's list will most likely be upwards around 200-225.
Coming down the pipe. Cancelled days off for tact teams 2,3,4 and 5 sept. Also, sept is changing hours to start them later so they can cover the more violent hours.

It's already covered on my end. Seems I "twisted my ankle" on September 1st. Looks like I'll have to go to the doctor and until then I'll be put on ambulatory because it's not a sickness. A good Labor Day indeed.
If the rumor of all tac sat and units getting rfi cancelled then at least half of you if not more better call in medical. Let them prove that you weren't sick. I'm tired of this BS. Get together on something.
RUMOR ALERT.....there are alot of rumors out there...that is all ...carry on
The REAL rumor is that they are going to FIRE a bunch of sgts. and lts. How do you like that for a rumor?
How high will they go from the Sgt's test? 450-500?
You wish bubble boy. If your that low on the list, you my friend are on the bubble, and better start studying for the next test. If your at 500 add all the merit and your number is more like 800.
It is true about hiring, a female family friend failed her 1st power test due to having 15 lbs added to her press weight. She complained and told them the weight was wrong to no avail. After over a year the whole group of those who failed were retested, she passes that, the polygraph and she has a final power test v next monrh.
As a woman I'm sickened. Your family friend should have trained to press more than was mandated. To prepare myself twenty plus years ago I trained to pass the power test at what the younger men were required to do. Doing that made it a walk in the park. Not even on the job and already bitching. Imagine twenty years ago working the wagon when we had to move and haul bodies. Just what this job doesn't need, another whiny bitch who make the real women in blue look bad.

55 and out, as we knew it, is OVER.
Your two percent will become four percent, then ten percent.
WE TOLD YOU SO when the city was allowed to get their foot in the door and charge 'only two dollars' for health insurance. What does it cost now, hmmm?
55 and out for many years, has meant "AGE 55, free medical til you go on Medicare".
You want to rename it, fine, choose a new name.
But you don't get to REDEFINE it.

Tru day.A quick call to lisa gariota from hr will solve this mystery.
They have about 1,000 plus people retiring. They need more bodies now. The people of Chicago are so screwed. The shootings are just the tip of the ice burg. Their is blood on the streets of chicago.
Their is also blood on the Mayor of mismanagement. Good luck keeping people here.

The whole point of the "55 and out" WAS the free (0%) insurance so yes, it IS expiring next year.
What does change, starting 01 JAN 2017, are those who fall in the 50 - 54 category with at least 20 years on. They won't get ANY insurance coverage from the city if they retire. And for those that retired in that category, your coverage ends on 01 JAN 2016.
The only thing left will be if you are 60-65 your insurance coverage is still intact, for now. Once you turn 65 you will be covered by Medicare.

There are plenty of applicants ready to take this job. But, HR has the same problem every year. Trying to find enough minority applicants to pass the power test and drug test. Otherwise they should raise the percentage of veterans they can hire. Currently the city is hiring around 60 recruits per month, around 480 recruits this year. This is the limit that HR can clear for hiring.They expect to hire about 600 recruits this year. That is the capacity of the academy unless they offer split shifts but overtime if forbidden. 600 recruits will not keep up with retirements, deaths and officers quitting for other agencies. Of course the number of officers stripped is over 30 this year. Despite all of the negativity, there are applicants that seek a job with CPD.
116 working days, not that I'm counting.
152 for me, and I am counting. LOL!
How about opening bids across the city so officers can move about and not be trapt in the same district for years.

It's not about the bare minimum although that should be the CPD Motto. Recall nearly 30 years ago recruits who would mysteriously pass the obstacle course and range qualification on an early Saturday Morning. They went on tho have illustrious careers as supervisors and a few were command staff. This is where substandard begins and continues all the way to the top
Are they done manipulating the Detective's test scores yet?
016 is pretty busy, with all the section 8 and ghetto dwellers settled there after Cabrini closed. Some days running all night, plenty of crime, etcJust fyi.
We will be in a full federal consent decree by November. The doj will be in full control of the dept. they have stated that we don't have enough supevision and does want 100 new Lt. Positions and 200 new Sgts. Positions. They do want 3 Lts. Per watch so that they're will always be a Lt. Working. This is fact and has been stated for a while now.

Thank you for running all night. I mean it. We need you guys here.
Putz.
No way, send us some young coppers that can do some police work, maybe stop a car or two or grab one of the thousands of thieves roaming around 16 at night while residents and the dinosaur police are sleeping.I/F

Yes, a voice of reason not the dipshit that you were responding to.
It's not about the bare minimum although that should be the CPD Motto. Recall nearly 30 years ago recruits who would mysteriously pass the obstacle course and range qualification on an early Saturday Morning. They went on tho have illustrious careers as supervisors and a few were command staff. This is where substandard begins and continues all the way to the top

Really...???? More supervisors? This ship is going to capsize if it gets any more top heavy. With the attrition of the department in recent years, the answer is we need more supervisors? How about a supervisor in every car? That will help. Better yet, make everyone a supervisor. Then they can stop wondering if there is enough out there.
I wonder if they can even find enough PO's to actually take the job anymore. It sounds like yet another department position has been completely ruined.
Please tell me again how this is the "greatest department in the nation"...I heard that on my first day in the academy. I am beginning to doubt...

There are plenty of applicants ready to take this job. But, HR has the same problem every year. Trying to find enough minority applicants to pass the power test and drug test. Otherwise they should raise the percentage of veterans they can hire. Currently the city is hiring around 60 recruits per month, around 480 recruits this year. This is the limit that HR can clear for hiring.They expect to hire about 600 recruits this year. That is the capacity of the academy unless they offer split shifts but overtime if forbidden. 600 recruits will not keep up with retirements, deaths and officers quitting for other agencies. Of course the number of officers stripped is over 30 this year. Despite all of the negativity, there are applicants that seek a job with CPD.

right.
And remember 'some' couldn't pass the written? Remember the groups "well qualified" "qualified" and whatever the the last one was "not qualified?" - you pretty much did not get hired unless you were "well qualified" Now it's what pass/fail - and then a lottery.
They solved that problem didn't they? The typical democratic solution - level downward (because upward leveling is impossible).
You vote democrat you should be deported.
And what with all the fucking bikes in 014 - now I'm a pedestrion, now I'm a car = what is this fucking Bejing?
Maybe this will give those who didn't cheat on the LT test a shot at getting promoted. F'n cheaters
speaking of hiring. the dept hired a guy with cp and someone with tourette syndrome. how can they possibly do the job. what type of lawsuit have they filed to stay on. who is their whack? but some kid who separated his fingers but did 80 sit ups couldn't pass. wtf
Drop the college the requirement so I can apply not everyone has money or time for college discriminatory in my opinion.
You need college. Your sentence structure is brutal.
