By the Numbers
Just some things we noticed about the Sergeant list:
- 26 "merits" from units
- 14 from districts
So much for Special Ed saying that Patrol was the backbone of the Department and unit people were "already taken care of." Just more lies from downtown.
- 13 promotees from 006?
Must be something in the water.
- Lots of secretaries,
- drivers,
- house mice who haven't seen the inside of a beat car in years, over a decade in some
- A lot of exempts nominating people outside of their chain of command
Why is that?

Off Topic I apologize.
A proud veteran of the Fifteenth District, A.k.a Fort Forgotten was killed Friday, apparently by her husband, also a retired cop.
Betty Brinkman, N.K.A. Elizabeth Volberding, apparently was the victim of Domestic Violence in the Town of Spring Grove, where her and her husband had moved to after retiring.
I do not want to rehash the details of the horrific incident, just that it seems cries for help went unheeded.
To all cops, if you are in a bad situation, GET OUT.
To the families of cops, if your loved one is in a bad situation GET THEM OUT.

no exempt should ever be able to nominate anyone who has not worked for them in recent times. When this happens it is a red flag for corruption and influence, nothing more. The system stinks and Johnson is a liar and a tool of the mayor, just like all of his predecessors
Two sets of orders will be issued. Where they will go and then where they will end up. Nothing changes.
Also why when some places have openings why do they ask for reference letters? Activity from whichever timeframe they are asking I thought quotas were illegal? All unit opening opportunities should be by seniority no need for resumes. Example is that information center one with the cameras and spot shooter. Why need resumes and references in other words who's your juice.
Agree
And now word of activity review and car, partner reassignment in a certain north side district .
This after a representative of the current fop administration came to roll call and told us not to expect much in the way of a raise . The immediate response that comes to mind is . ....get fucked !
That's the only thing this dept does well......Lie
Another strange occurrence, PC from 620 made it legit???? But her husband JC 189 is merit? How lovely, another husband and wife in the same sergeants class, I'm sure they'll make lieutenant together as well.... I have a strong feeling PC was able to remember the answers to the test but not her husband, hence the merit bump for him
The old Chicago way, the CPD way! This list is shameful, and they have the balls to preach about honesty, integrity, transparency, restoring public trust. Bullshit!! Same old bullshit!!
Look no further than the "exempts" that nominated the "merits".I posted earlier on another thread.I was a boss(non-nominating level) that recalls only 1 name on that list(non-merit),he was a recruit and a good kid (M/WH) back when I was around. I shook my head at all the "exempts" names that I know though.
Once again,Wow.
W.R. from 015 nice guy but never worked in 015 under Commander Betts. Perhaps a favor to the greatest cop in history Babs West?? Like I said nice guy decent cop but how does this happen?
would be interesting to see what DOJ or IG have to say about the merit of the merit picks
This department is so corrupt it's unbelievable. Had a supervisor mentioned how this department is still a paramilitary organization. I just laughed. What a joke!
The CPD is a corrupt joke running wild. Even after the DOJ report, they are still promoting unqualified supervision.
I am starting to believe the DOJ report has NO teeth.
Chicago corruption is unstoppable. Has been since the days of Al Capone.
Sergeants blatantly cheating on exams. Unqualified merit promotions. A superintendent that is faking a bad kidney for compassion. A mayor trying to destroy our pension. The biggest phonies are the Chicago media that ignores it all.
examscam 1985 examscam 2017 Nothing new under the sun
Watch, Where the house mouse's and Secretaries get assigned to thats another Joke.
To: "the smartest guy from 610 and the pride of QS

So how many merit picks does each boss get?
This list is proof the cesspool of clouted incompetence will continue well into the Millenia. The Feds should come in decertify the Department the start from scratch, only way shit is going to change.
“So much for Special Ed saying that Patrol was the backbone of the Department...”
Sadly, what he meant to say was, that “Patrol was the backSIDE of the Department”
rb
It's how we do it in CPD
The more things change the more they stay the same.
Ed you're a lying sack of shit..... they ought to go after you for a Rule 14 violation.
An envelope stuffed full of small denominated cash can go a long way on this department than just a gun and a smile...
The backbone of retirement is health insurance.
Rahm Emanuel stripped our old people of insurance when they are most vulnerable.
Remember that every, fucking, day you show up to work.
Probably the reason that exempts are nominating people outside of their chain of commands is that they are told from higher-ups, i.e., alderbitches, the rat of a mayor, clergy, etc. who to nominate.
I would be willing to bet that in many cases the exempts do not even know the people they are recommending for promotion.
Fred Waller is running the department people. His best friend is William Bradley (Commander of 006th District). William Bradley is married to Michelle Cook. That should answer several questions.
Just a thought...definitely OT, but fuck it...can someone post the name of a great guy "merit" doctor so I can get something checked out? Can you then recommend a stand up "merit" lawyer in case the doctor doesn't know what he's doing?
Get the point...comprehension has consequences.
It's all legit, nothing to see here, keep the line moving. Ive got your back. Now get out there and do police work!
Cheating scum. They are no different than the illegal aliens who come here. Taking away from someone else who did it the RIGHT way. F**k YOU one and all.
Did anyone really expect this superintendent to be any different. Not only does he need a kidney, the man needs a brain transplant as well.
And 002 will get every one of those merit hacks from 006. We have had enough merit hacks in 002 already. Give us some real supervisors lt and Sgts alike.
"Why is that"?
Because Jill Stevens said "Nelson should be a sergeant"; because Jan Ashley said "I want to be a sergeant"; because Bill Bradley said "I think my girlfriend should be a sergeant"; because Angerone said " fuck everyone, I'm making my secretary a sergeant", and on and on and on. That's no even counting the ones who were given the answers. When was the last time there were 13 promoted from one district?
The only questionable promotion out of 006 is Courts, all of those PO's were not assigned to 006 at the time of the exam. Nonetheless a decent group of POs. If a majority were Merit I could understand the hate.
The brand new General Council get a merit pick? How could she know any cop wrll enough to make that kind of call?
OT: Boycotting the superbowl this year. Don't want to give them the ratings as I have had enough of the liberals interjecting their social justice warrior bs into sports. I haven't watched espn in 6 years. First superb owl I'll miss in 3 decades. The Left will bring about the demise of this country if conservatives don't fight back with their VOTE. One liberal was on TV saying we should allow 100,000 to 200,000 refugees in this country a Year! Unreal.
Why does a civilian exempt have a nominee?
Same shit different day, can't the powers that be see what they are doing to the morale of this department?
Too many turds in the swimming pool. Time to get out of the water, retire if you can. They don't want to fix this department and it is nothing more than a sinking ship right now.
They are in units cause they have clout. the they use the clout to get promoted.
Congrats to all from down south here!! Youz folks/ people on those last 3 pages, good luck on midnights in 2,7, 11,15etc for the next 10yrs.
BEST WISHES TO 006
"Work Hard, Stay Humble"
If you have a inside spot there's lots of time to study, if your pushing a beat car, none, how's that fair? Anyways congrats my brothers.
Because it's the same old shit ! Nothing has changed or will it . It's not in the water it's in the phone call ! What a crock of shit. And your not going to hear a peep out of any union clowns either ...
Because we need more YES people.
Congrats to Drew Gasca and Jeff Raumbaugh. Worked with them both. Good Officers
Yeah the fact that special ed was commander in 006 had nothing to do with the amount of promotees. Don't worry though ed DOJ is coming back to talk to the union reps in a couple weeks to go over the changes they recommended and you failed miserably in the promotions department. Best is its all documented now.
You have families where everyone is getting merit. The average guy will never get merit anything. Just keep working, and the connected get everything for you risking your life.
OT: Wheeeezzzzeeee was spotted in her white covert car leaving again in the middle of her tour from 009,rumor is that there will be an annoucement coming out that she has been leaving her unit of assignment to help the command staff pick who or who shall not be a "merit' pick..You heard it hear first..
"would be interesting to see what DOJ or IG have to say about the merit of the merit picks"
Not sure why u think the DOJ or IG would have anything to say about these promotions. The contract allows for meritorious promotions.
I see Melissa Staples made her good friend Crane a sgt. That is a slap in the face to every hard working detective in Area Central.
J.C. never did a thing while at 189. That whole team was useless but hey what do I know.
Its all legit folks....study hard!!
You misunderstood the superintendent he said to bone the patrol division. Meet the new boss same as last. Nothing changes in Chicago.Your dreaming if you think it's ever going to change. I was on 40 yrs . The last day on the the job was like the first. Nothing changed in between. Sail along and remain extra fetal and employed.
It's over! Can't wait to get out. 3 years to go. Could stay longer but no way
These merit guys want to be sergeants but terrified to work the street. They are majority secretaries and drivers, so assign them to 003, 005, 006, 007, 008, 009, 010, 011, 015, and 025 so they can learn how to do an Aira report before they approve or reject one. The entire merit list will have to be AIRA trained lol. 4-DATA get ready because they haven't used those password in years😂 Don't let them run back into (IAD, the DOC/CPIC, the Academy, CAPS or midnights on the desk in 016.) You would think the merit board would at least check the arrest history to see if the candidates has ever worked the street. Candidates spend most of their time hiding and transfer to patrol right before being put in for merit.
New rule should be, NO prior merit pick should be able to nominate a new merit pick.
So 006 had the secret study group?
I like how everyone thinks the feds are the answer to cleaning up the administrative and operational messes in the department. Where have you been the last 20 years? Have you forgotten about Eric Holder and the Ferguson Missouri fiasco, or for that matter the Fast and Furious debacle? Does anyone really believe those in positions in the federal government are squeaky clean administrators? C'mon, wise up would you? And its not just the Obama administration, its every administration. Why do you suppose they have press secretaries? We only hear what they want us to hear, and when we get wind of something that really stinks, its usually the byproduct of a disgruntled employee with an ax to grind against his employer. Otherwise we're just being fed bullshit that's intended for public consumption. We should know better. How many times have you read/seen a media account of an incident you have direct knowledge of? How accurately was the incident reported in the media? Enough said.
I just love how people who can barely speak English can score in the 95th percentile of a subjectively graded test....

Promoting unqualified people while also promoting people that worked and did earn the promotion is a slap in the face to the qualified.
If promotions come because of political connections, color, religion, anything but ability, where is the incentive to become a better Officer? Right! There is none. Then you get...what you've got...
Stay safe Officers.
J.J
I thought Betts was the commander of 015? Not the commander of whatever unit 124 is. Sold your soul for babs Will?!?! Babs?!!! Hahahahahaahahahahahah!!! Hope it's worth it. Oh yeah, don't forget where you came from (they all do) and that your are a merit sell out. Can't hide "merit" lying sgts anymore. PO's will know the truth as soon as you walk into roll call in 005.

Betty with the glasses who worked the desk?
Ok. Follow along. JanAshley was nominated by merit recipient Fabian who was promoted meritoriously to Lt and captIn by Barb West. Barb west was in the group of chosen ladies lucky enough to attend the Jan dillon study group (along with Lameka, Flores, Casey and a few other bosses). As a favor to Jan, Barb west reaches out to Fabian and tells him to put in JA for merit. Which he does even though there are many more deserving officers in 14. In turn for playing nice Saldana will catch a promotion by Barb to Deputy Chief of the training Academy. Think I'm making this shit up? Remember this post in 3 months.
Is. Still not sure why he nominated his secretary for merit Detective.

C.W. from 017, formerly of 025 gets a merit spot after taking a 10 day hit for making racially charged comments to a white Sgt. I worked along side of him for almost 10 years. A decent cop, but he's the biggest racist I've ever met. He absolutely hates the white man. Given not earned........good God I hate this department. Hey special ed, don't piss on my head and tell me it's raining.

Wow GODSPEED to you Elizabeth! No one is immune from domestic violence, we all know the most unpredictable call you will ever ride on is a "domestic disturbance" They can be extremely easy, or extremely violent please look out for each other active or retired CPD, if CPD related domestic do everything you would like done for you, don't "blow it off" 19P, if they need help try your best to egt them help! God bless the thin blue line!! RIP Elizabeth!
OT.....URGENT!!!! All residents of the 45th ward better attend the meeting Thursday at 7:00pm At Branch community church at 6125 Foster and say HELL NO to the 7 story low income housing building/CHA to be built at Northwest HWY. Everyone better be all over Alderman Arena! This is a nightmare and will be the "camels nose in the tent " NO HOUSING PROJECTS!!!
Does affirmative action racism play a role in CPD promotions?
Why is that?
Because your own UNION cons you into agreeing to it.
5:10, that would be a very, very safe bet, one that could fund every pension problem this whole state has if you could find someone who would actually take it.
Supt . Johnson please explain your statement regarding that more patrol officers will get merit promotions rather than officers that are assigned to units. Supt Johnson your reasoning was that these unit officers are already being taking care of. What does this mean? Why do unit officers have to be taken care off? What you really meant to say is that unit officers get ducks, they only work 6 hrs. a day and get paid for 8 or 9 or 10. You know this occurs on a daily basis. With the murder rate so high why are officers leaving early. I thought black lives matter. I guess not. Shame on you ed. I'm glad you are the shining beacon of the cpd.
I have a crazy idea.how about letting the people in each district pick say 4-5 guys/gals for merit promotions?THEY have a better feel for who would make a good boss.
This department is so full of ASS KISSERS. Get rid of merit promotions and management if you want a legit police department
Blame the fop for fucking over retired folks and the cpd membership. Another rigged organization. Stay fetal or the merit hacks will strip you and continue to hurt your families. The balls on these people, they print up recruiting posters stating earned not given but yet damn near 70% of the bosses are given the job over the past 3 or 4 decades. The bosses make 180 to 200 g a year and get take home cars as a perk under the guise of maybe in a blue moon they have to respond to something somewhere at some point, but yet in the highest crime neighborhoods with the shootings and murders out of control , cpd coppers have no squad cars and are riding four deep on patrol. See citizens of chgo , the cpd does take care of its own , only the clouted bosses who never make arrests or respond to 911 calls, never see any crime in progress or write tickets or help you the citizens of chgo cause their too busy taking care of themselves.
You realize that a "house mouse" could be a male just like a female???
no surprise.
SNAFU=Situation normal all fucked up.
BOHICA=Bend over here it comes again.
SCC I have a question maybe somebody can answer.
I admit I did not count the total names but your previous post said 142 names on the sgt's list. This post says 26 merits from units and 14 from districts which adds up to 40 merits. Now if the contract says up to 30% merit why is this list at 35.5%?

WOW! and she out of IAD! Unreal!
Speaking of numbers, why the f#@k do we need so many deputy chiefs?!!!!??
Patrol may be the backbone of the Department, but does Rahm & Special Ed gets to pick the vertebrae?
That makes for a very weak and unreliable source of strength, certain to have little effectiveness.
Jugghead Special Ed is no professional. He was a Merit Pick himself.
Besides Rahm, the Revruns & the AlderStoogies all getting a pick too, above the 23 Dist Comm & who knows how many Deps.
Just how do they decide who gets a turn to pick, which exempts pick or have picked the most, when do merit selections expire?
What was with that scant clout class of only 10 (?) Merit Sgts back in Sep 2015?
Nice guys make nice bosses but then what's the point of an examination?
I've seen many of Merits Sgts to work out to be very active, pro-team players too.
We all know these Sgts are, but the ones that wind up back in their old spots never seeing the Watch is a shame.
When you're a Merit, you wind up being very shaky, too shaky for Beat work.
Does FOP ever challenge the pick?
They failed at keeping the level at 20% almost 20 years ago and haven't revisited the issue since.
After looking at the List and hearing Special Ed is delighted with the diverse make up the recent Applicant List of New Candidate Hires, I'm certain the current Sgt List is exhausted. It's obvious that the Rahm DOJ recommendation has been implemented. Maybe another September class of 10 Merits will come, but the List is too top heavy with high scorers...even at +/- #300.
Chiefs and Deputy Chiefs should not be able to nominate officers because they are far too removed and disconnected from the frontline. That's why they keep submitting their drivers and secretaries. That's all they know.
Multiple meritorious jugheads nominating more undeserving meritorious goofs. It is disgusting. One of the nominating personnel is a functional illiterate. Stupid as they come, paper and the written word are his enemy, but he knows how to nominate someone and how to bean his horse!
Guy from 018 a joke
Nominating outside their chain of command is used by our witless, political hack exempts to cover themselves. They
exchange" picks with other unqualified merit hack bosses to promote their assorted side pieces, boot licks, lackys, drivers, hoping the dumbass Patrolmen and Detectives won't notice.
Everyone that sat and listened on the merit board had their pick make it. Waller also made Cook Merit Detective.
Oh there is so much more than that in the list fellas! For instance, a certain "cock" in 191 didnt make the merit cut is is really unhappy :( Word is he is crying to the heavens and beleives he should have gotten the nodski..
Looks like his lt and commander got a big fat goose egg on this one and one cute little dirtty birdy at 35th street tells all that it is a good morning F U to the bosses more than the "cock"...
keep the informants fed at 35th and you get the real deal news here on the blog..

I had a supervisor say that to me...She had never been in the military, and was clueless. Any body who was in the service, would never say that. You have had to be there to understand that CPD is less Militarily organized than the Girl scouts. The guys who cut my grass in the summer are more paramilitary than some of the units I have worked in.
Just Sayn'
Time for a new test
"Also why when some places have openings why do they ask for reference letters? Activity from whichever timeframe they are asking I thought quotas were illegal? All unit opening opportunities should be by seniority no need for resumes. Example is that information center one with the cameras and spot shooter. Why need resumes and references in other words who's your juice."
Says someone with no activity and a crappy resume, if you even have one. Seniority is important. So are specialized skills, military experience, and education. I'm not endorsing nepotism. "What you know" should be more important than "who you know," and when it comes down to it, more important than your date of appointment.
Just wait until Lts, Capts, exempts are made, more hilarity to come.
I hope they keep promising him a kidney and stringing him along like he's doing to us from day one.
I can recall back in 1968 you needed an alderman or a judge to come on the department. The two drivers of the head of the Civil Service commission always made sergeant after a few years of driving the guy around. If you wanted to be insured of making sergeant the price in 1973 was 5 grand. I heard 25 grand was the going rate for captain. I don't know what it is now but I am pretty sure that there is a select few who get promoted outside the usual ways of testing for it and earning it. It always seems that many of the exempts are connected to someone in the political class. Nothing has changed much and nothing will change despite the DOJ and their report. The mayor and the political class will grab onto what they want to if it benefits them and ignore what does not benefit them.

What's the over under for today's?
The problem is not merit promotions. The problem is the criteria for merit promotions. It is used as a reward and not as a way to promote deserving officers who may not do well on a test. How about this. To be promoted ti any rank, you have to spend 5 years in patrol doing patrol functions. Not working a desk or driving someone around. If you are a Sgt. looking to get promoted to Lt. 5 years working the street.
Pete best a solid guy.
Wake up!!! This is our reality. If you are really a member of CPD you couldn't have have typed that thinking change is around the corner.

Not a peep from any of our leaders. Not FOP, not CPD, Nobody! Keep working guys!
anyone from FOP who told you at roll call not to expect much of a raise, show them the door. Ballots come out next week to give us an opportunity to wipe the slate clean and start over. What's the worst that can happen, not much of a raise.

Activity from whichever time frame they are asking I thought quotas were illegal?
Yeah quotas are illegal dipshit but your activity is what you have produced in the way of parkers, movers, anovs, misdemeanor and felony arrest. You know doing your job. How many movies you watched on your iphone sounds like all the activity you know about.

Don't forget nominates were voting for their own nominee. Several people made it that were put in by the same deputy chief that was in the merit board. It's ok, it's all legit.
I call for a line-up 9 out of 10 exempts couldn't pick out their merit pick!

Bradley was a sergeant two years ago, unreal.

You're barking up the wrong tree with this one. I will defend bill Bradley to the death. He is an absolute stand up boss. He's a guy who doesn't care what the color of your skin is or what you are about. If you don't do your job he is a fair guy and will talk to you like a fair guy and get something going to make you happier somewhere else if you want. I'm a white guy which is irrelevant but I see a lot in this thread about so and so being a "hater" etc and bill bradly is not. He was an absolute prince to work for and hopefully will be one of the higher ups soon. A/2 dept chief is where my money is.

Activity from whichever time frame they are asking I thought quotas were illegal?
Yeah quotas are illegal dipshit but your activity is what you have produced in the way of parkers, movers, anovs, misdemeanor and felony arrest. You know doing your job. How many movies you watched on your iphone sounds like all the activity you know about.
2/05/2017 07:19:00 PM
Well now...
Reckon you so called "supervisors" aren't liking
the continuing education of the troops against
your demand for quota based "activity."
You supervisors still playing the "step into
the room and close the door" game are a
bunch of idiots.
Don't hide behind your rank or "Cuz I said so"
when you demand activity.
When Policemen get tagged for quota based Policing,
Supervisors should get cooked in the pot too.
"I didn't tell them to do that," will soon
no longer be cover and shielding for
Supervisors. It never should've been in the first place.
Be a man and stake your name, reputation,
and continuing employment to a number you
deem to be "sufficient activity" so that
everybody has crystal clarity about what
and how much will make you clowns STFU
once and for all about "activity."
In these times, Policemen have more than
enough really silly shit to deal with...
Welcome to the new normal of Policing
that you self impressed hard-ons
refuse to acknowledge or even understand.
"Doing your job..."
All day long, except for armed revenue
extraction for the sake of armed
revenue extraction.
Part and parcel genuine public peace
and safety? Definitely but eff that other noise
you're making.
The dipshit is you.
Stay safe.
I have a crazy idea.how about letting the people in each district pick say 4-5 guys/gals for merit promotions?THEY have a better feel for who would make a good boss.
2/05/2017 12:29:00 PM
Actually that sounds pretty good
Patrol is the backbone of this spineless organization. That's why so few get promoted, there is no backbone.

How do i block his bullshit emails??

Can't you guys nail him for harassment by electronic device?
Waller made Bradley so now Cook made it? How is this clarity?
Off topic, has anyone heard the lockup keeper in 006 was arrested while at work for stealing 37 bucks from an arrestee, all caught on camera
Can the superintendent explain how someone who worked Caps for over 10 yrs got merit? Working police , bullshit ! Explain please. What does this do for morale?
Anonymous said...
And 002 will get every one of those merit hacks from 006. We have had enough merit hacks in 002 already. Give us some real supervisors lt and Sgts alike.
2/05/2017 06:17:00 AM
You're getting Lt Dave W, a real supervisor. Hopefully, his stop there will be short and we'll get him back in 012 soon.
CW was a decent cop? When? When he fell asleep 2 hours into his surveillance, and the place got hit? The guy was on the 025 park car for years, and was too lazy to even visit a park. He spends the majority of each shift at his house, playing video games.
Nagode should be forced to have him as one of his Sgts. Dude is everything that is wrong with the Dept.
I doubt they will announce a test this year. We just got our results 2.5 years ago! I'd say they will announce a test at the end of 2018 and give one in 2019 at the earliest. That would make it 5 years. Stop spreading false rumors.
Fabian was lt off the list. Didn't meet west until he went to 15 as lt. Merit is the only way you make captain and commander.

Are you denying he was a Sergeant two years ago? No tree was barked up wrong. He was a sergeant two years ago and now he is getting people made sergeant. I think it's a little ridiculous. You're obviously cool with it.
So, publishing who is merit along with their sponsor is a new transparency. Good start, but not enough. The department changed it's merit picking process to have those nominated scored on a point system arrived at by the interview score, the application and resume. The interview panel then scored each interviewee into one of 3 tiers, tier 1 being the most suited. If any tier 2 or 3 were promoted ahead of tier 1, the whole thing is a scam. Of course, the super gets the last say with a presidential executive order style override. There is zero transparency if the tier category isn't published. It would be interesting to see if the department stuck to its allegedly fair system and only those in tier 1 are on their way to being sergeants. Let's have the FOP demand the answer.
After reading most of the above posts I now understand why the CPD is so fucked up. How can any working cop respect the ones PUT in charge, answer they don't nor should they. What a joke the CPD has become. Not funny but a joke non the less. Good luck and god bless the watch, Merit hacks not included.
CW from Unit 313...and according to the one hater having to sneak in bullshit about working with him for 10 years in 025. Quit whining and bitching like a little girl. All that you've said is just made up bullshit. I worked with him in the beginning of his 20+ years on this department. Funny that I know all of his partners since then and not one has anything but good things to say about him. He's the first one to run towards shots fired, jump over any fence that's too high for many other officers...heck he's been on roofs helping look for weapons when offenders just throw them over. Don't come on here spreading bs on here. But then again, this is where you can secretly feel good about yourself and hide behind your spiteful bullshit.
CONGRATULATION CW. Dealing with all that comes with in working with this department. You deserve this.
How did 006 get so many merits?
When is the next exam ??
So can someone explain how many FTO merit picks they'll be next time?
Regarding incompetent Sgts...
What's up with Sgt T. Cotter in 025 and his endless sexual harassments on the female offficers???? Seems like he doesn't understand the meaning of NO means NO. Funny how anytime of them says NO he quickly writes them up and piles on the CR number. And when they try to stand up to him...they get moved to cushy spots so they won't talk....
Sgt T Cotter....dude there's online dating now. Asking ladies out the old fashioned way isn't working out. At least online you can lie about how you look like and trick them into saying YES...until you have them in front of you...

That's odd because there are plenty of people in 006 white shirts included who would disagree with every thing you just said! Prince is a word used far to often & shouldn't be used here! Snake might work much better

I admit I did not count the total names but your previous post said 142 names on the sgt's list. This post says 26 merits from units and 14 from districts which adds up to 40 merits. Now if the contract says up to 30% merit why is this list at 35.5%?

will you idiots stop using words like "prince " great boss. stand up. etc. this boss that you're idolizing is ONLY a boss due to family relations , clout, etc. what makes this stand up prince so much more deserving of a generous pay increase and a much higher pension than the rest of us lowly backbones of patrol? This department is a joke and the DOJ investigation was a bigger joke. Business as usual here. House mouses, drivers and relatives keep getting meritoriously promoted.

I can recall back in 1968 you needed an alderman or a judge to come on the department
Right. That's why in 1968, they offered the test twice a month. Nobody wanted this job back then.
This department is so full of ASS KISSERS. Get rid of merit promotions and management if you want a legit police department
******************************************************************************************
And a lot of the ASS KISSERS are ex military! WTF is the military teaching?
It is what I say! Now get out there and start producing numbers, maybe I'll look at ya next time.

Math is not your strong suit huh? 142 x 30 = 4,260 or 42.6 if they rounded up it would be 43. They took 40 so it actually fell under 30%
That's why our department is a mess with poor leadership.
We will say it once again.

Whatever, Bradley was a sergeant two years ago, it's fucking ridiculous he's a commander now making merit picks. Bradley doesn't care about your skin color until its time for a merit promotion. The guy he made detective.....three years on the job.....lol...yeah you're right he does't see skin color.

Actually it doesn't... cops don't make good decisions in these areas. Just look at the Fop idiots you keep voting for because he is a "good guy." This wonderful thinking starts all the way at the academy... remember the top recruits picked there? Lol
Actual proof that this department is a joke when it comes to promotions.
So, just barley scratching the surface and it is easily revealed that there is nothing but shit in the game. Now, what will be done about it?
It is like:
"Yes we promote people in direct violation of the Shakman decree and just common professional ethics, but Fuck You we will do whatever we want, catch me if you can"
So, you can have all kinds of rules, decrees laws, standards, ethics mandates, BLA BLA BLA, there is no enforcement end unless a lawsuit is filed, therefore nothing will happen.
Is there a discrimination suit to be brought? Perhaps, it is discrimination to promote useless people when more deserving are overlooked! Is it fair to promote those same useless people through an undefined, unpublished un-promulgated conspicuous process that fails to allow someone who wished to strive for such a promotion? I would answer yes to all of those, now, find an applicable state or federal statute, hire a lawyer and blow this mother fucker wide open? After all, legal action is what caused the department to change all the rules in the last few years, but only the rules that have to be followed with citizen contact. Why not force these mother fuckers to follow a legal process internally? The ones in the best position to sue are probably those now on the top of the list equal to the # of people promoted meritoriously, the top 40 or so I guess, who have been harmed.
Someone should file a lawsuit on these merit promotions, you can't just give 125g a yr jobs away with great pensions with no guidelines. Jesus Christ it's taxpayer money and a law enforcement agency in a city with 800 murders a year. what the fuc-. No wonder chgo crime makes world wide news. Seventy percent of the bosses either were given the job or cheated for the promotion. Activity , really merit hack boss. Lead by example , you chase the shitheads with the guns thru the gangways at 2:00am in the morning. I'M done cause doing police work gets you nothing even if I get shot in the line of duty. A fuckin- secretary gets the spot for no good reason. There is no doubt that murders will hit 1000 this year. News outlets mark this post, now you know why chgo can't and won't get a grip on its crime.
They didn't make 300 yet. This test will be around. Sorry.

Believe it when I say, that there are supervisors demanding activity everywhere. The Bureau of Organized Crime still has plenty of idiotic supervisors who demand activity. There are some so pathetic who ride around with their team to make sure some kind of nonsense is generated for the b/S "savm" being run each week. The million dollar question, guess who is not working missions in the worst areas Chicago has to offer? If you guessed the unit secretaries, give yourself a bozo button. Now go out there and get activity so the same connected, clouted do nothings can get promoted.
Fuk 006 and their worthless DC. The jerk needs to keep his pants up. If Waller didn't hide that domestic fight in the 002 district front office a few years back, Bradley would be at call back.

The math you learned in the freshman year of H.S. definitely isn't your strong suit. I hope you did much better in English class. Otherwise, your report writing must give your sergeant fits.
Is anybody really surprised? (Rhetorical) I feel for these guys/gals busting their asses out there - facing the most hatred and violence towards them that has been experienced in a long time - just to find out that the drivers and secretary's got the bump over them. Must be pretty damn dangerous, and take a lot of skill to uphold one of those inside positions. Oh wait, shootings on the E-ways are up a 1000% - that explains how the drivers got the bump..dodging 9mm slugs while driving around the exempts -, and of course the secretaries make the districts/units appear to be fully staffed when there is no manpower so we have to give them the bump. This department is becoming the joke of the nation. You hard chargers out there have my respect to the fullest; God bless you guys/gals for continuing to do your job when shit is shoved at you day in and day out.
Listen , they nominate whoever they are told to nominate.
Stay Fetal , back each other up fkm
Sorry but your in a unit that doesn't answer radio jobs, so you should be bringing in activity. Narcotics making buys, warrants etc, Fugitives bringing in wanted people, gangs sat making street stops, vice doing what they do etc etc etc. If you don't wanna do it go back to patrol, but you won't because you don't wanna give up the city car, perks etc so just do what Sgt tells you or you'll be gone..

My Lord what's wrong with you people. You my friend are an idiot. These people are doing undercover buys regardless if it's a point two or a kilo they are dangerous situations just like every other officer out there. But in the UC buy situations supervisors are required to be there. If they aren't then they are being negligent. Stick to complaining about something you know

keep making srgts!! ... my # on the dicks list might become a reality!
YES!!!
I don't think the bosses on the merit board should get a pick. They should recluse themselves because it's biased. G Mc didn't allow it and Special Ed should not allow it either. It's unfair and seems that the bosses tell the merit board who they want in Tier 1. Smoke and mirrors.
There were 4 merit board deputies who participated in the Sgt the interviews and all 4 had their sponsored picks made. Wtf? Ethics violation anyone ? Didn't any of the brain trusts on the 5th floor discuss this? Unbelievable.
