ExamScam.....Three?

And here's the cover-up of ExamScam II - Ferguson thinks there was an issue with....the Sergeant's Exam - not the current one...the one from 2007ish:
  • Inspector General Joe Ferguson disclosed Monday that he has uncovered “procedural and compliance issues” tied to a merit promotion process in the Chicago Police Department condemned by officers interviewed by the U.S. Department of Justice as a “reward for cronyism” and clout.

    The new allegations, contained in Ferguson’s quarterly report, surround 2013 merit promotions to the rank of sergeant.

    According to Ferguson, an officer assigned to the security detail of then-Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy was promoted to sergeant, “despite having failed the written portion of the sergeant’s exam.”

    Only after sergeant training was completed and hiring packets were forwarded to the city’s Department of Human Resources was it discovered that the officer in question was “ineligible for promotion” and the promotion was rescinded, Ferguson said.
This followed a long history of Superintendent's promoting their drivers. It was an expected bump after driving the boss around and keeping your mouth shut, and yes, it was all political. Most of the "merit" process is.

But this "scandal" was pretty much out in the open at the time. There's been a Sergeant exam since then which hasn't even had a whisper of the stink that covers the existing Lieutenant exam:
  • Wysinger's wife scoring #1 - perfect score if rumors are true;
  • Johnson's finance scoring top three;
  • 6 people from IAD scoring top 10;
  • a secret study group at HQ, tipped off by an IAD sergeant;
  • who then happened to be one of the top 10;
  • violations of the confidentiality agreements for Subject Matter Experts, including the exchange of money for access to the exam material, all nicely documented in Department e-mails;
Somehow Ferguson missed this?

The merit process IS a mess. Last Sgt class the order came from the Superintendant's office to merit promote someone who didn't even go through the entire merit process, i.e. Recommendation, Resume Packet, panel interview , etc. This officer was called and was basically told he was going to be made sgt. and to quickly get the resume in order in which someone from the command staff surely got that together.

Do you really think anything is going to come of this? The elite do whatever they want to get away with whatever they want it's a simple as that this will be swept under the rug quickly the Fed should be involved Indictments should be in place already for this corruption. The criminal element and all the communities watch carefully what is allowed and they know that lawlessness is welcome here obviously.

The Entire Merit Promotion System Cannot be DEFENDED, SIMPLY BECAUSE THE PARAMETERS ARE NOT DEFINED! NOBODY CAN EXPLAIN WHAT IS REQUIRED TO RECEIVE A MERIT PROMOTION! NOBODY HAS A CLEAR DEFINITION; CAN THE CORRUPTION OF THE SYSTEM BE ANY CLEARER? This Bogus Merit System has destroyed morale and the careers of countless hard working coppers at all ranks. Add to that the fact that as many as half of the current Command Staff has benefited from at least one Merit Bump! I remained a Sergeant for 25 years, and did not receive an acknowledgment of the unfair system until the last Shakman Settlement, when I received $12,500 for producing the names of three less qualified individuals promoted over me, two of whom are today Exempt! Ferguson and the DOJ are full of shit, since the inequity of the Merit System was clearly called out in that last Shakman Settlement several years ago. AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO CORRECT THE INJUSTICE. Coppers, the FOP, Sgt. Assoc., everybody just accepts it as Shitcaga Values, instead of hiring an attorney to put an injunction on the entire Merit System, and stopping anyone on that system from being sworn in after receiving those promotions. INSTEAD OF BEING THE SHITCAGA POLICE DEPARTMENT, WE MAY AS WELL BE AN ISRAELI Police Department, because we've so many Passovers! Stay Safe, Watch Each Other Baby "G"

This probably is a diversion brought to Ferguson in order to keep the Lie-tenant's scandal off his radar. The promotion of Garrry's driver has been covered previously. One driver vs. 6 IAD Sergeants? Let's see what the new Deputy Inspector General unearths or will she be another Mayoral Cheerleader demonizing the rank and file during contract negotiations?

You will also note that the Inspector general forgot to put any names on the report who were involved!

So everyone can see all the actual reports for the LA-QUAN incident which actually involved a crime and death.

But a cheating scandal and it is all top secret. The FOP(thats you graham)should FOIA all those juicy reports from Ferguson (Mr.Transparency!).

Use the cheating as a chips in contract talks Alderman don't want people who are dishonest as bosses do they?

Once again the lazy dead tree media takes whatever scaps RAHM hands out.

How about the fucking mess McCarthy made with the Sergeants test from 2014. Didn't know that you cant use the old Merit packets for a new exam. Makes an all list class in April 2015 and then tries to sneak in an all merit class in November 2015. McCarthy said that these guys were suppose to be in the April class. However the city didn't ask for merit packets until June 2015. It was so comical the city had to add 29 additional list people to the December 2015 class just to get the 70/30 split. All they had to do was remove 7 merits from the December class to get the 70/30 split. But instead they went over budget and added 29 list people. Have no doubt the Chicago police department only cares about their merits. They could care less about the list people. If it was up to the exempts every rank would be appointment/merit.

You don't really expect the city to acknowledge any real corruption in its promotion policy, do you? The media has pretty much ignored the entire matter of corrupt promotion and assignment policies within the police department. It is not on their agenda. Yes, the progressives want " reform"and " transparency" within the process to suspend and fire you and they love to comment on how you should do your job. Then the college professors jump in on the reform issue along with the attorneys who make a living suing the cops, the reporters always looking to twist statistics and make the cops look bad, all people who do not have a clue on how the job is and what it takes to be a cop , but what does any of this matter? The police department has always been under political influence but Daley and Rahm have finely tuned the patronage and control. Just look at the command staff these days, all of whom are merit promotees, multiple times I might add. Nope, nothing will come of the promotion investigation. The political class has too much to lose. It would take a federal investigation or maybe an investigation by the Cook County State's attorney of Illinois Attorney General. But, you know that will not happen. They are all on the same team here.

What a joke! All this CPD exams are such a waste of time if you don't have a phone call. Why does it take almost six months to find out the exam results and why don't they release all the scores or publish them? WHY? Because all the clouted individuals are being taken care off first. How can you respect these newly promoted detectives and sgt's if they don't have a clue how to do their jobs? I've taken promotional exams before believing that I would get a shot of getting promoted. Because you can't bitch if you don't take the test, right? But, I was wrong and I should've known a lot better. Nothing is more important to me now than getting my checks twice a month and making it home in one piece. Screw all this wanna be's! For the supervisors who are trying to recruit the officers to join the Tact team, you really sounds like a car salesman.

Something needs to happen and fast with this investigation. 003 has always been the department bung hole but 03rd watch has got to be the most dangerous place in the city to work when you consider who is running it and I caution all assigned there or passing through to stay fetal. 2 of the 3 named cheater Lts are in charge and they have no clue what they are doing, unless it's jamming up a PO. When they need help they confide in another double merit LT running tac and get final blessing from a double merit commander. I wouldn't bring a TRR their way or any arrest that wasn't completely clear cut. If you are out there doing what you have to and shit goes sideways you are in it deep when one arrives on scene and the other has final approval. The NOBLE roots in that place run deeper than anywhere else and considering the Rev Jackson family, Mrs Obama, and Farrakhans mosque are all in district they have a lot of backing. It's hoping against hope but after a year since this story hit the tribune maybe we are close to seeing these two led out in cuffs, they don't seem to fear it though

OT. Re: Required Residency Research.

On January 18, 2008, the Ohio House of Representatives passed a bill to eliminate residency rules passed by local voters. This included the amendment to the Cleveland municipal charter that restricted city workers from living outside the city, approved by voters in 1982.

In response, Cleveland's Mayor Frank G. Jackson and law director Robert Triozzi threatened to take the issue to court. Jackson contended that if the city's residency restrictions are overturned, Cleveland would suffer the ill effects of city workers fleeing the city, and its related effects on the economy and city safety. "This is about the issue of home rule", Jackson said at a City Hall news conference. "They are attempting to usurp our constitutional rights, and we are defending our rights".

He threatened to fire any city worker who moved out of their district of employment. The Cleveland Fire Fighters Association Local 93 and four individual union members filed a complaint on January 30 with the 8th Ohio District Court of Appeals to block any actions that Jackson, Triozzi, or the city might take on the matter. On June 10, 2009, the Supreme Court of Ohio struck down the residency requirements of Cleveland and several dozen other Ohio communities in the case of Lima v. State of Ohio.

(Illinois and its largest city, Chicago, are totally controlled by the Democrats, even though the state has a Republican governor. Their control includes that of the Chicago city government, the Illinois Senate, the Illinois House of Representatives and the Illinois Supreme Court. Until change is made on the political landscape of Illinois, a push to eliminate the residency requirements for Chicago city employees, either through legislation or through the courts or through a combination of both, has no chance.)

Montana Restaurant
The radio station America FM was doing one of its 'Is Anyone Listening?' bits this morning. The first question was; Ever have a celebrity come up with the 'Do you know who I am? ' routine?'

A woman called in and said that a few years ago, while visiting her cattle rancher uncle in Billings, MT, She had occasion to go to dinner at a restaurant that does not take reservations. The wait was about 45 minutes. Many local ranchers and their wives were waiting.

Ted Turner and his ex-wife Jane Fonda came in the restaurant and wanted a table. The hostess informed them that they'd have to wait 45 minutes. Jane Fonda asked the hostess, 'Do you know who I am?' The hostess answered, 'Yes, but you'll have to wait 45 minutes.'

Then Jane asked if the manager was in. When the manager came out, he asked, 'May I help you?' 'Do you know who we are?' both Ted and Jane asked 'Yes, but these folks have been waiting, and I can't put you ahead of them.'

Then Ted asked to speak to the owner. The owner came out, and Jane again asked, 'Do you know who I am?' The owner answered, 'Yes, I do. Do you know who I am? I am the owner of this restaurant and I am a Vietnam Veteran. Not only will you not get a table ahead of my friends and neighbors who have been waiting here, But you also will not be eating in my restaurant tonight or any other night. Good bye.'
Only in America, is this a great country or what? To all who received this, this is a true story and the name of the steak house is:

If Fergie had to come up with something to appease DOJ it had to be something that nothing can or will be done to rectify the impropriety...beyond a long drawn out and expensive plaintiff suit.
If a past Exam was compromised then all the Exams were compromised.
It's the same scoundrels running the Exams that make judgement on who gets their Merit picks and distributes a copy of the question answer sheet to their close, like-minded friends.

Just how does the Department plan to straighten this out?
What were Fergie's recommendations (tossing out known cheaters is a start)?
What contract proposal or concessions will FOP Graham Crackers be offered, suggest or agree to... eliminate future Merit altogether or Limit 1 Merit promotion per nominee...at what cost the membership?

Could we expect a new Private Administered Exams coming, without Merit appointed hacks looking over the questions first?
Who is left on the any Lists (that hasn't been Meritized yet) will determine just how long any current List stays up.

Or all this nonsense gets buried and its business as usual.
If Patrol is the "backbone" of the Department, then it's a simple fact that perennial Merit bosses like Special Ed are slimy spineless slugs.

I am a M/2 that worked for FG in 15 on midnights. He was a decent boss and far better than some of the merit hacks that 15 has now.

So the guys on greased rails with a rocket on their back or the guys that "got a little help" are always good bosses. They have something to hide. They don't want to get any on them. They do nothing but go along because they don't want to be outed. Give the guys extra time, let them go early, start roll call late and nothing that remotely resembles discipline. Don't want anyone mad at me. All the things a good guy does and you lapped it up.

OT, also in 003: How about the commander denying hearing requests for those who were on the radar for indebtedness to the city? The fact is they paid it. They paid it prior to the spar coming down. Yet the commander of 003 refuses to be fair and professional. So now officers must give up their CU time or have a day of no pay. You mentioned a double merit Tact LT who the young tact officers admire and suck off? How about this commander who is a triple merit and intentionally screws over coppers? It has been verified that he is the only commander in the entire city who is doing this injustice with giving out soars to those who paid it off before the spar was even created.

1. He cares more about rental vehicles than the troops. Remember during the world series? Had troops move rental vehicles (white vans) onto the side streets which could've been used as shielding amd concealment. He didn't want the rental vehicles to be damaged. From the very same corner where 2 officers were shot at during a auto accident report job on 1st watch.

2. His daughter calls in a fake assault because she was tardy to school and refused entry... Bosses and detectives and many officers on scene. Truth comes out little too late. The next day he yells at the 2nd watch roll call not to bother putting in for merit anything...

3. Calls officers into the station over the air during a traffic stop and tells them the driver was his wife...

4. His niece has been in HQ. When did she come off of status? What does she do there?

5. Plenty more to come, wait for it...

Attention!!

REFUSE to acknowledge ALL SPARS !!!

Type a To/From and DEMAND that the infraction be made a C.R. Investigation.
After you see the commander and deputy chief for a "bullshit hearing" you are done and have no more recourse.

At least with the C.R. process you can have an arbitrator review it.

Havent heard that. I work at HQ and the rumor is end of the year. Adding the additional 75 extra sgts into the nee budget would make around 100 new sgts.... ( 22 vacant sgt openings + 75 additional). Add in a handful of retirements this year and maybe a big class of 100-120. Making 30 doesnt make any sense but then again we work for the city and their actions NEVER MAKE SENSE.

Does anyone remember a promotional exam they gave, I think it was for sergeant, that was held at the Merchandise Mart? From what I can remember, they gave the test in a couple of parts, but either all the questions were in one booklet, or they gave it in two parts, but they didn't collect the first booklet when it was done (sorry, I honestly don't recall). Anyways, after the first part, EVERYBODY took a bathroom break, and while in there, they compared answers ("hey, what was the answer to #15?"). Everyone returned for the second part, but went back to Part I and fixed any possible mistakes they may have had. I think the next test they gave after that had bathroom rules, where only one person could go at a time, couldn't talk to anyone... If someone out there remembers more vividly than I do, please refresh my memory. I may have the location wrong.

OT. Re: Required Residency Research.

On January 18, 2008, the Ohio House of Representatives passed a bill to eliminate residency rules passed by local voters. This included the amendment to the Cleveland municipal charter that restricted city workers from living outside the city, approved by voters in 1982.

In response, Cleveland's Mayor Frank G. Jackson and law director Robert Triozzi threatened to take the issue to court. Jackson contended that if the city's residency restrictions are overturned, Cleveland would suffer the ill effects of city workers fleeing the city, and its related effects on the economy and city safety. "This is about the issue of home rule", Jackson said at a City Hall news conference. "They are attempting to usurp our constitutional rights, and we are defending our rights".

He threatened to fire any city worker who moved out of their district of employment. The Cleveland Fire Fighters Association Local 93 and four individual union members filed a complaint on January 30 with the 8th Ohio District Court of Appeals to block any actions that Jackson, Triozzi, or the city might take on the matter. On June 10, 2009, the Supreme Court of Ohio struck down the residency requirements of Cleveland and several dozen other Ohio communities in the case of Lima v. State of Ohio.

(Illinois and its largest city, Chicago, are totally controlled by the Democrats, even though the state has a Republican governor. Their control includes that of the Chicago city government, the Illinois Senate, the Illinois House of Representatives and the Illinois Supreme Court. Until change is made on the political landscape of Illinois, a push to eliminate the residency requirements for Chicago city employees, either through legislation or through the courts or through a combination of both, has no chance.)


@@@@

I know many officers who would vote against any contract that would eliminate residency. Trust me, it's not an overwhwlming majority like you think. Especially those who say it just to sound cool in roll call as many of you mopes do, give them the opportunity and they will bluff and not go anywhere because they know they will get killed on their house and end up paying 18-25k in property taxes like in mike a, Frankfort, orland, Schaumburg, winners, elmhurst etc. also, my friend just bought a modest house in a decent western suburb.. a smaller bi level house with 3 beds and 2 baths for 385. 385?? Then he pays 19k a year in property taxes and not to mention the majority of public schools in EVERY suburb are very "diverse" these days you are not getting away from the city thugs. Go to any suburban public high school. Fremd, all the Naperville public high schools, shepherd, stagg, Andrew, lemont etc and they all have the Chicago rats going to school there. May wood, west side, hillside, west Chicago, north Chicago, Robbins etc all are going to these public schools that all of these coppers here think are the solution of schooling problems but are gonna find their little girl in the arms of little Tyrone from Robbins... ok, go ahead. I'll send my daughters to all girls catholic high schools.

Bill Bradley, the PLAYA, just another cheating, merit hack who couldn't pass a promotional exam if his life depended on it.

It's obvious you don't know him because he made Sgt and Lt from his rank score .. check all the merit lists and his name is not on any.

Just heard another ugly rumor. Michelle Cook, Bill Bradley GF and Wallers old secretary does NOT HAVE THE COLLEGE REQUIREMENTS. I was told that she submitted a bogus transcript from a color printer and got promoted. She does not have the 60 college credits but yet she was promoted.
Rule 13 Violation and everyone associated with it should go down.

Use common sense.......anybody that knows anything about submitting college transcripts to a school or employer, you should know they come in a sealed envelope with the school's stamp across the flap to prevent tampering. So how could she submit a bogus, color copy?

Maybe you should look into getting a college degree and submit your transcripts and you will find out submitting bogus transcripts would be impossible. The transcripts will not be accepted if they're not in the school's envelope with the stamp.

Further more what is rule 13???????

It doesn't matter where you get your degree,
don't be lazy and be able to show your own work.

As for plagiarizing from Wikipedia?

You deserve to be kicked in the ass
for insulting the very notion of
integrity and academic standards.

Heard GC (3x merit hack) Lt in 010 every once in awhile blows a gasket...

Not even close. If you think what he does is "blowing a gasket" than you are the biggest pussy of all time.

White out, type writer and a copy machine can get you promoted all day long in Chicago. I know of several who were promoted with doctored transcripts.

color copy of official transcript (so no seal, watermark or embossing on document submitted) hand delivered by an exempt member, accepted by clerk and approved by clerk (or limited duty officer) who then updates the computer system, issues the education verification letter and files the copy--all before merit pkg deadline....they do not time stamp the actual document submitted, so it can be switched later

The worst mayor in the Nation has failed to lead were cheating on promotional exams is concerned. He had the chance at redemption , or at least some redemption. Every politician has some segment of the population that likes him or her. This guy has no one. His days are numbered. And the result will be a bunch of cheats and thieves will run the second largest police department in the USA. Run it further into the abyss.
This asshole is the same as the old asshole.

Don't forget C.Papa. Merit Sgt who ended up number 2 on the Lt's exam? Was one of the chosen for the secret study group at 35th street.

4/18/2017 04:55:00 PM

Papa was #2 on the Lt's exam? He's a bouncer for heaven sake. I can't believe he made it on the job let alone made it legit off a promotion list. Cheater no doubt!! Please take him back to SWAT he's a know it all five year wonder.


That's why this job has gone to shit. Merit promotions like Papa who were never the police are now in leadership roles. Not only was he a Merit Sgt with 6 years on the job but a cheater on the Lt's exam. Hope he goes to jail.

To 03:21:00 pm. Amen. How about that 13 year wonder charitable promotion suckass sergeant in 019. I guess a "merit" promotion wasn't enough for this suckass who has spent over half of his sorry career inside in soft spots including the 5th floor of fort fellatio. He walks the halls of 019 like his sh-t doesn't stink. Worst part is he thinks he knows what he is doing. Watch your backs in 019 with Sgt. "O" the backstabber!

Why would you expect the mayor to look into the cheating test scam, when he gives the order to bump the Goldstar relatives up way before the list comes to the CPD Personnel? Not only do you have to consider the cheaters and the merit promotions; you also have to consider the preferential promotions that are given to family members of those who have died in the line of duty. They are taken care of first by the mayor's office. Just in case you forgot. That's prolonging your promotion as well.

In my book, knowing and not doing anything about it makes you an accomplice. Maybe someone with a spine would have done something about it in whatever position you held that gave you this inside information.
