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of Human Resources was it discovered that the officer in question was “ineligible for promotion” and the promotion was rescinded, Ferguson said.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:
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?

Police Department ain't ready for reform! Short and sweet.
da-vi-na Ward & Company.......pack your bags.......your out of here!
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?
Retired .38 spl +P
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.
Hey Cleve,what did you do with the sgt uniform....lmao..Almost got away with it..
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.
Ferguson is not the brightest bulb. When you get a rock dumb PO, he doesn't take bernstein or study, BUT somehow scores in the top 200, then he got the answers!
The city that doesn't work only in Chicago keep voting Democratic Chicago will be Detroit soon
OT: When are these liberal idiots in Lakeview going to learn their lesson. First a 23 year old woman brings home a 46 year old male black who she met at a bar. He rapes her and steals her phone and so forth. He's a dog ass from Englewood. Go figure. Then more idiots invite a male black to their party. He gets out of control messing with the white women and is asked to leave. He returns to the party with a gun and shoots a guy. Go figure. He's from Auburn Gresham. Keep being a liberal fool ! Hang with snakes and your going to get bit!
To borrow a Trump phrase it's time to "drain the swamp"
But no one at the top will get into any real trouble.......
Ferguson has no teeth in his office, all merit hacks and cheaters will be afforded time to retire before any so-called suspension /punishment is rendered. Recent example; the cover up of the Koschman homicide by exempt members et al...
Focus Joe, focus...then...
Kees me you fool!!!!
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.
Must be a liberal democrat "investigator", sees only what he wants to see.
Kind of like newspapers reporting crime is down. Well it is, if you lead readers to believe the crime stats are from Chicago, but they're really from Deerfield, Kansas.
J.J.
Exam scam 3? Every exam that's been administered has some sort of scam attached to it. I stopped taking these promotional exams after a gold star made the comment that if anything crosses his desk with my name on it will be tossed in the garbage. F@#k you ! Deputy Dawg
What is that he says, the Merit Process is rigged! Oh no, next he will discover gambling going on right in the casino!
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.
No shit. Everyone knows how corrupt the promotion process is. Fergusson is just figuring this out? It's as obvious as the sunrise. Friends promoting friends by any means. This is why so many cops are demoralized. This is Chicago. The most corrupt place in America.
The game is fair for all right its the Chicago way do twentry and leave you will be a happy camper
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.
(OT) hey john section 8 arena here is something for you to do:

16th district least amount of police pay most taxes come on lazy pathetic Johnny!
The IG has no Balls!
A blind man could connect all the dot concerning the Lt cheating scandal.
Of course Eddie Johnson has no commitment, Wysinger retired, Eugene Williams retired and downtown Ernie brown is RIP.
All their wives and nasty girlfriends were made Lt by cheating and everyone in the department knows.
They have NO morales! They will never earn respect from any of the rank and file till this matter is properly addressed.
When the city hires a third party that designs the test, administers the test and scores the text with no "consultants" or "subject matter experts" work for the CPD or the city then I will believe the test is legit.
Nothing will happen, it never does. Until it does, the Department will never be seen as legitimate
Any word on upcoming promotions for those of us making it legit?
And nothing changes!
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.)
Nothing was missed. There's just a 10 yr backlog in writing reports. So you'll hear about the Lietenant scammery in 2027...
If it's making your secretary merit sgt (anagrone). Or giving others the answers. Makes it almost impossible for legitimate people to get promoted.
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:
Sir Scott's Oasis Steakhouse

Manhattan , MT 59741

And the drum keeps beating.........
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.
(OT) Wow! look at this headline:
United Airlines CEO: No one will be fired in passenger-dragging incident
http://www.chicagotribune.com/business/ct-united-passenger-dragged-earnings-0419-biz-20170418-story.html
United Airlines will not fire employees involved in the recent dragging of a passenger from his seat, an incident CEO Oscar Munoz on Tuesday called "a system failure."
There was "never consideration" of firing an employee over the incident, he said.
(Alright now Ginger Evans the $300,000 a year hero now is rahm pulling your strings? The coppers now restore them don't you ever blame them for doing their jobs United did not fire anyone if you fire the coppers you admit guilt and your failure to manage,doing this Ginger will cost the city millions more than he will get your turn "Ginger!")
This girl is the ultimate liability not just an embarrassment for Ed, but for the Chicago police department and the city of Chicago! Cut your losses Ed tell her goodbye many great women out there that will respect you and her position, this girl is totally cra-cra! hit the dump button nothing but a cheating clown!!

AKA a political hack alderman, mayor etc??

Don't forget the 2007 lieutenant's exams scandal which included now retired (BUT still making her kids MERIT) Captain Dillon as the "subject matter expect".
As many as 7 were made lieutenant from 017 including one who was administered the exam at home BY DILLON because the sergeant, P.C. just had brain surgery and could not even hold a pencil.
Another sergeant that was made from her group was bonafide "bat-side crazy" Linda Flores who was a catered to lieutenant before her "whack job liberal" live-in boyfriend Democrat Judge Vincent Gaughan made her the Commander of 014.
Sickening.
Thieves and liars.

Is the new adminstration at FOP going to bring on Tom Needham or has he lost his mojo? Heard a couple officers are not thrilled with his services lol
They aren't going to do shit to the cheaters. They're Black. The Community won't stand for it. The only people who care are other coppers (most of whom happen to not be black), and coppers don't mean shit to this city (or department).
Just remember it's our job to "establish Trust" with the Community...At our expense, for their benefit.
It's all legit just ask rahmie.
Incompetent Cleve Hardy is suing the City. The idiot will probably win the lawsuit. He should have never been hired!
Investigate Dean Angelo Jr too! BTW, Deano is giving his grand interview on WGN tonight! Why is he still sitting in the FOP president chair? Get the fuck out old useless windbag!! Now you grant interviews because it's all about. You??
Ferguson is well aware of davina wards bs. He won't do anything because he must do exactly what Rahm wants in order to get reappointed. His contract is coming due and like a loyal sycophant loser Rahm kiss ass like he is, he must do what he's told to.
Wake me when there's proof of test paper
name switching/exam stealing...
You know...
Since the city NEVER gives you your papers
back to see your work.
If it were on the up and up, they'd allow

Nothing to see here.

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.
How about them pulling the list down the day after Rahm got reelected.

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...
I remember when the whole tac team from 14 made it in 2000's. Always thought that was really bizzare, especially when none of the were really intelligent. Just saying...
Ferguson is only on 2007? Wheezie & the rest of the cheaters will be retired and out of the country by the time Ferguson gets around to looking at the current lieutenant scandal.
The exams were privately administered. Remember when Arthur Anderson gave the tests? That's another scandal all by its self.
Piss and moan all you want and nothing will change ........ that's the Chicago way
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

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.
The sergeant F.G. just retired from 015.
He knew this was coming down !!
Noble members had the exam for the Sgt. Test also. While waiting in line to get in the test area there was a group of M/1 talking as if they knew the questions, listening to them I thought they did not know what they were talking about, shame on me; they knew.
Who was the person who did not go through the merit process the last time around.
Yes, I remember the Arthur Anderson CFD test with the fuel converter system in 1996, I scored horribly on it and I was a Fireman Paramedic on a Suburban Dept.I can't understand how I score great at Fire Classes in College but can't Pass CFD .frustrated Cop .
This aint the first time Or the second time EXAMSCAM 1985
It's all BS . Female from 189 walks around telling everyone how Sup is going to make her sgt next time around. She's not shy about it that's how sure she is ..
Why are they making another 30 sergeants in May? Are they really that short because of retirements? Or is the job that difficult?
4/18/2017 04:56:00 PM
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.
IN the KNOW

I'll bet a class will be put through in Fall. After august I keep hearing but maybe later this year. New budget calls for more sgts added to overall strength so maybe a big class come years end. Good luck to all off the LIST!!!!
Joe do your duty !!!! Strip them and they should be fired!!!.

The exams were privately administered. Remember when Arthur Anderson gave the tests? That's another scandal all by its self.
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.
How about the sergeant from the Civil Rights unit who got on the promotion list with out having the 4 years of college a few years ago? They keep changing the requirements but do all these promotes have the college requirement? Seems like everyone got a degree from the mill in Indiana and Romeoville.
Check it out Ferguson it is almost as bad as getting a degree from John Marshall where all the great judges come from.
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. Unlike some of the boners on this job I don't need to buy extra big tires or add on lights, red gas tanks and the blue line punisher stickers for my awesome special forces jeep.. strokes. Man, cops are such hard ons.
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.
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.
They have NO morales! They will never earn respect from any of the rank and file till this matter is properly addressed.
4/18/2017 10:35:00 AM
You cannot tell me there is no morales. I loved watching Jerry Morales roam the outfield at Wrigley when I was a kid. Imitating his damn basket catch left me with many busted toes when I a little leaguer.
SCC: u have the facts the names dates etc. pls send this info to trump and sessions, this, in addition to Rahm violating federal law by keeping chgo a sanctuary city should make for some interesting fireworks. Don't count on illinois politicians of either stripe to go after cpd brass or Rahm. I'm sure trump and sessions would love this gift rapped gift dropped in their lap. All they need to do is prosecute and it will make for some interesting press conferences as trump explains why Rahm is going to be charged with federal crimes. Illinois has had 4 governors, dozens of aldermen, representatives and mayors sent to prison, but never a chicsgo mayor. Send your info to trump and sessions and let's see if we can change that pathetic ommision. Thank you!!

Not completely true. I know a PO that left and moved to suburban Glenview. Kids (3) will go to New Trier, they paid 370,000.00 said the taxes were around 9k, but now does not have to pay private schools, new trier has a low shithead count still. So not all suburbs or suburban schools are full of assholes yet.
This girl is the ultimate liability not just an embarrassment for Ed, but for the Chicago police department and the city of Chicago! Cut your losses Ed tell her goodbye many great women out there that will respect you and her position, this girl is totally cra-cra! hit the dump button nothing but a cheating clown!!
4/18/2017 01:44:00 PM
Ed is knee deep in the crime. You sound like you want to be the next squeeze. Disgusting.
Chris Papa was singing a song like a canary, asking for immunity, because he didn't know the study group was compromised. Then changes his mind and lawyers up. You are correct that Chris is not very intelligent. Cheated no doubt. He might end up being the fall guy cause he's white and dumb.
Don't forget about the two new merit LAPA hacks on third watch now in 025. Lt Perez and Sgt Angel. Both boasting about being merit and say their going back to units
Speaking of LAPA, there is a certain Lt Rios in Gang Enforcement North who has gone completely nuts with his 3 year wonders running around do warrant after warrant. Someone is going to get jammed up and that coward will run away as quickly as he can. Can someone give this clown the promotion he so desperately seeks so he can get the fuck out of the unit.

Sorry so NOT true, she has the diploma mill St Xavier worthless Masters Degree......now if you want a scandal write about when her BFF Lt Senora Ben who was in that St Xavier program with Michelle & submitted a paper that she plagiarized from......WIKIPEDIA.....they were going to kick her out but she begged and pleaded for one more chance and then Michelle wrote her paper for her......Ben is nice but definitely NOT the sharpest crayon in the box.........ALL MERIT
hen 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
Hmmmm I am Lt and would NOT approve anything that is NOT clear cut neither......your paperwork should be correct idiot...............
Bill Bradley, the PLAYA, just another cheating, merit hack who couldn't pass a promotional exam if his life depended on it.
Please delete the debunked internet "do you know who I am" story. It's an old, false one.
http://www.snopes.com/movies/actors/fonda.asp.
Currently you do not need a bachelor degree to get promoted to sergeant. It's only needed to become lieutenant and above. To get promoted to sergeant you only need 60 college credit hours.
Interesting. I heard about the Supe's driver a long time ago. We all did. I'm not gonna lie, I hoped they would make another class back then, if only to appease the copper who got screwed due to this merit spot. I was only 40+ out, so I may have benefited too. I often wondered how many other "merits" were actually ineligible, but got thru. Let's see what happens now that the IG has it, but I'm not getting my hopes up.

This is a real FOIA request worth looking into...
Someone should write a book, go on the air, make million of dollars. Until then the city and its well connected white shirts will never change. Look most of the Patrolman will definitely make this a top aeller. May be the FOP could endorse it. Lol
O.T Love how the bosses were harping on about the in car cameras a few months ago and now it seems every squad i get into the canera has a ticket #. ! Hope the new FOP regime can point this out to the media when the next time the shit hits the fan, the dept can't blame us and say we keep breaking them ! I dont do anything pro active anymore so why would i give a rats if its working or not !
It's all legit........

Don't be a sore loser Deano.
Stay off the blog
Multiple meritorious promoted people realy deflate the morale of honest, hard working officers that want to believe that the promotional testing procedure is legitimate.30 percent meritorious brown nosers ate not enough. Just give them the answers and have a study group to memorize the answers. Sickening. Career cocks!#!ers like weasel Ed Wodnicki (three time meritorious) move right up the latter, while hardworking clout less officers get the shaft.
Heard GC (3x merit hack) Lt in 010 every once in awhile blows a gasket...
Tell the city during negotiations that merit can only be rewarded once in a officers career. For this we won't push for residency.
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

EB
Do not expect feckless Inspector General Joe " Queen of Hearts" Ferguson to do anything on merit promotions, cheating scandal, etc. Word on the street is that he has a hot and heavy bromance going on with Rahm, things have really blossomed. No bigger love story since Napoleon Solo and Illya Kuryakin !

So what's the end result? Do the PO's that got screwed over and didn't get made due to a rigged merit system get rank and back pay?

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.

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???????
Merit Lt senora Ben already cost the city over $500,000.00 in lawsuits. Nothing but the best and brightest to be chosen for merit. I wonder if that was part of the packet for promotion. What a joke she is and her BFF Michelle cook merit detective and now merit sgt. Oh that's right they are sleeping with the right people to get those promotions Wink wink ........

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.
......you should know they come in a sealed envelope with the school's stamp across the flap to prevent tampering...
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.

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.
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.
