Full "Merit" List 2006 - 2017 (FIXED)
67 pages of political corruption - well, not completely. This is all of the promotional classes by year with all promotees listed - the "merit" promotions are at the tail end of each class.
You may have to download it and then rotate it clockwise one quarter turn - we can't seem to get it to display properly. But as far as we can tell, it's all there.
You can disregard that one Lieutenants class - the "rank order" people all had the actual test to study from and is (hopefully) still the subject of a rather involved investigation.
UPDATE: Thanks to "D" for updating the list so you don't crick your neck.

Only think legit about this job is when the powers that be want to either hand down days or want to fire you. Everything else is a dog and pony show, case in point the promotional process.
That's who's running this entire department. There's no policeman there. I'm not saying they did nothing certainly not enough
Many of the sergeants are waiting patiently for the IG to finish and publish the results of their Lt cheating scandal investigation.
If the inside sources are correct, the investigation results should got public in august rite after Eddie aka kidney beans is allowed to retire from his convenient kidney issue that has been affecting him for over 30 years.
All I/we want is justice. Discipline for the cheaters. $25 refunds for all who paid for that corrupt tainted test. All sergeants on that list should be guaranteed a promotion to Lt. plus back pay.
CLOUT PERPETUATING CLOUT
"MERIT" could NOT possibly involve cash bribery, nepotism, cronyism or sexual favors. This is based on "Chicago values". It's "the Chicago Way" . It's all legit. "The Best and the Brightest". You could count all these once active "street cops" by their on view Part I felony arrests with the fingers of one hand. No house mice here.
"Gold Braid" pensions are also legit. The City can provide overwhelming evidence why Scantron scoring will NOT be used so candidates know their raw scores right after they leave the (leaked) "exam".
Funny how all the liars come out who swore they scored well and made it legit when we all knew better. The recent Lts list is missing at least one name if not more.
Some deserved it, most were just kiss asses. This shows the level of clout and bs it takes to kiss your way to the top!!
No respect
Gadzooks , who would have known CPD had to go to such great lengths to reward the windwood section! Percussionists fill out your ISRs as your bandleaders are clearly racist !
What a screwed up system, the same gold stars over and over promoting who they friended, so I guess if you aren't privileged to know them you're out. It's ridiculous when the same promoters fashion this department to their liking and the same names get merit over and over. This "system " of who you know should have been challenged in court years ago.
Well this explains a lot... smh
Mother Mary please expose those cheaters
Earned, not given? MY ASS.
This document exemplifies exactly why this job is a dead end.
A sobering reminder of just how badly clout, nepotism, favoritism and corruption have ruined this job.
And anyone that believes "rank order" is legit needs their head examined... this latest LIEutenants exam wasn't the first promotional test compromised via secret study groups.
Good find, SCC, keep exposing these frauds. Too bad most of them have no fucking shame.
Fuck this job and the merit hacks along with their politician nominators.
Hosley, Stacker, Heard all merit sgts on 3rd watch in 006 my golly, now it makes more sense....
Big joke Hilliard and Cline. Must be nice!! You can crisscross the list and see what's going on.
You can go to family gathering with friends ;0 and watch all the white shirts.
Merit hacks
Discussed. I was within 30 of being called before the list was taken down. I see all the booty kissers who got my promotion. That would have been a nice pay bump for me and my family. For the ones fixing the system because they can; may nothing good come from it and may you rot in HELL!
They profess that they believe in God, and one day they will be judged by him for what they have done. What they are doing is pure evil.
Looks like one big ass kissing contest.
They should have also requested all D2 spots.
Merit Promotions started in 1999 for Sgts and Lt.
no wonder no one wants to work 004 third watch. this double merit goof Hassan couldn't lead his shit to the toilet. maybe now he can end his pep talks...we know you are just a clout baby who never passed a test! sure to be a commander soon, what a joke.
Just read the whole list. I know and have worked with many of the merit picks. Some were deserving, most were not. Not many surprises.
Is this just the Tip of the Ice Berg? Remember, it was Weiss who first began this policy of listing Merit Promotions. So, prior to this list, the actual Clout List went unreported and actually entailed a wink and a nod, going back to whenever a Daley was in power, which means for decades! Clout Promotions before Weiss actually entailed manipulation of test scores to make sure the right people were promoted. This has been not only a demoralizing, and degrading process for those who did not have a Clout, it has also produced decades of incompetence in leadership, that has resulted in millions of dollars paid by tax payers in unnecessary litigation resulting from the incompetence! Not to be misunderstood, there have been great leaders who simply do not do well on tests; so there should be a way to identify these individuals and promote them. AND THIS SHOULD BE DONE BY A SPECIFIC PROCESS, CLEARLY EXPLAINED, SO THAT THE NECESSARY GOALS AND PROCEDURE MAY BE FOLLOWED. JUST AS RECIPIENTS OF THE BLUE STAR ARE PROMOTED TO DETECTIVE, THAT SHOULD ALSO APPLY TO AWARDS FOR HEROISM, AS WITH THE MEDAL OF VALOR, ETC.. However, this continued Policy of Merit, WITHOUT A DEFINITION OF WHAT "MERIT" ENTAILS, IS IN ESSENCE A FRAUD, PERPETRATED UPON THE TAX PAYERS AND THE OFFICERS PASSED OVER FOR PROMOTION! It is also a Theft of the difference in salary to those affected. How do we continue to allow this to happen? Why hasn't the FOP sued the City, demanding that all Merit Promotions Cease, until "Merit" is clearly defined? Does the Department or Tax Payers benefit, in any way from this current policy? In the 70's we had the putty nosed drunk Irish bosses, and then in the 80's we had the Black and Latino bosses, who would write directives, that required translation and corrected spelling. The Kline era produced the female bosses who used their prior experience as bar maids to make crucial command decisions! Now the Clout bosses are just plain incompetents from every imaginable ethnicity and gender combination, who from the beginning of their career until they received their gold star, never made a decision as a street cop. Remember Lil Dick's favorite Ron, the guy who was the newsman's girlfriend? He ended up in several Merit spots throughout City Government. Less than 10 yrs on the job, never passed a promotional exam; and he had a Gold Star on his chest and a General's star on his shoulder! What do you have to do to get that? THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THIS DESTRUCTION OF MORALE AND CAREERS AND THE CREDIBILITY OF CPD, IS TO TAKE THE CITY TO COURT ON THIS MATTER. THIS 'MERIT' POLICY IS AS IF THERE NEVER WAS A MICHAEL SHAKMAN DECREE. THEY ARE TAKING FOOD OUT OF YOUR FAMILY'S MOUTH AND DIMINISHING THE WORTH OF EVERY OFFICER PASSED OVER BY THIS POLICY. Baby "G"
Doesn't seem quite complete, some promotees names omitted entirely, but what is there is quite telling
Oh so now that you know???? Soooo.. I'm hoping to make Merit sergeant soon.
I'd rather they make it Merit than to have the test.
I'd rather they make it Merit than to have the test.
Not worth downloading unless someone is going to put me in.
There are many errors on the list. For the 1 Oct 2010 Lieutenant's class, Noel Sanchez and James Sanchez are listed as both rank order and merit promotions. They're both recipients of several bites from the merit apple.
Figures
Same people on a merit promotion walking around like they fucking know everything.
I just realized some of my Merit supervisor are far more useful than my lazy ones who tested.
I don't see anything wrong with having one Merit promotion, but not three.
Has anyone you know filed a grievance for canceled rdo's for Memorial Day ? seems a bit unfair that probation officers did not work but someone with a lot more years was forced to .Folks, this is just the beginning of canceling rdo's with this department of corruption, hope the union is fighting this shit
This is better than the ones who are taking care of by the Goldstar Family Memorial. They are taking care as soon as the list hits City Hall. Those who have family member to pass or becoming seriously injured while in the line of duty are taken care long before Merit.
If you're looking for Dean Jr. that deal was made off the table.
I don't care what you guy say, if a boss wants t put me in; it's an honor I'm accepting it. Im still waiting on my promised Merit promotion.
You'd be a fool not to accept a Merit promotion.
Any "investigation" of a certain Lieutenants class was completed months ago
The evidence has been filed in Rahm's bottom drawer and is waved in special Ed's face from time to to remind Ed that he has to support anything Rahm says concerning gun violence, crime in the "community"and reducing statistics.
Holy S---! 67 Pages of corruption.
You wouldn't know it by the article in
today's Wall Street Journal, bragging about a
joint (no pun intended) effort between Feds & CPD
to get drugs, guns, bad guys off the street over Memorial
Day weekend. Also mentions 167 traffic violations. Wow.
Comment section mentions 86 years of Dem. rule, and this
is what cops should be doing anyway. Also said CPD is the
most incompetent and ineffective dept. in the nation.
Looks like Rahm has national P.R. connections, 'cause the
WSJ story and SCC narrative don't quite jive.
12 yrs. of bullshit promotions. Who scored
this list? This is like Watergate.
It is a thing like this that displays something I have not understood about the Chicago Way for the lest several decades. When the political corruption runs so deep, for so long, how, I wondered, can it be possible that nobody has ever assembled various lists just like this one?
How could it be that the corruption - especially in hiring and promotion and political placement - not be collected and populated into a list for someone claiming corruption to hold up and say 'SEE THIS? Can you explain this with ANY reasoning that does not end up being outright political corruption?"
At some point, it becomes undeniable and unexplained, right?
I tried to read it, but the names kept giving me an uneasy stomach. Pepto Bismol anyone?
Now, kees me you fool!!!!
Oh no I've been outed, great after all these years of lying to my friends and coworkers, geez not even the police can keep a secret...
FYI..LT. cheating scandal was unfounded by the I.G. Take that to the bank....
sickening!!!
Who's who in the zoo.
"I can see clearly now the rain is gone" 🎼🎼
A list of CPD who's who. Nothing really new here and will not end. I used to get a kick out of the righteous mother fuckers who actually believed they earned and deserved the promotions. That was a whole different reality. I'm just glad that I retired with my pension, for now...
Must be nice to have a chinaman.
WHEW!
This is NOT a comment on this topic.
This is a po-lice 'safety issue.'
If you got to this point after reading the list and comments, your blood pressure is spiking.
Take a few deep breaths, walk away from your 'puter for a bit before returning.
Welcome back
Ok,you may continue. (You may have follow the above suggestions a few more times)
Stay Safe
You're Welcome
It lists the merits, but not the ones that were Fennerized i.e. the ones given the answers to the tests.
The merit names should make everyone sick. Many bites out of the apple. These guys should be making patrolmens pay like the rest of us that had to actually score well to get paid more.
Angelo Jr-is off of the list.
ZOGG!!
Garriddo- is a Hispanic?
Leavitt- can't verify sponsor.
No surprise to see that asshole from 010 who calls himself the Rock and makes up bullshit General Orders as he goes along. Dude you're a fucking clown. Now go ahead and screenshot this and send it out on your little group of friends on GroupMe and cry about the way people feel about you.
Plenty of lawyers listed on there as merits able to pass the bar but not a city promotional test... WTF
Why are some listed twice with different dates?
I want to see the price paid for each of these merit promotions, Sgt= 10K, Lt= 25K, Capt= 40K Exempt= first born son or daughter...
I spent the better part of 33 years trying to hide the contempt off my face when dealing with these hacks. A few good cops on the lists but the rest? And this only goes back to 2006, I'm sure its the dame names on different lists entirely thru their careers. This is why I only took one promotional exam.
Its a big reason why I wont allow my kids on this shit job.
Gee, always thought that "studying for a test" meant that you had the test in hand & were studying it... duh, like "merit" is prejudicial 'n all...down with merit up with inflated percentage quota's
If you think the ranked list is correct you are sadly mistaken.
Good news about the cheating scandal
Hope you're right
Fop, Sgts. and Lts. associations should all be clamoring for legitimate testing.
Take an exam and get your score before you leave the building. How many of todays NEVER worked a midnight shift. Years ago the bosses , for the most part, had a track record of being in working units. Not today. IF they go through 011 or 007, they never leave the watch commanders office.
A few list are missing
so when's the next promotional class start?
This promotional list doesn't go back far enough...
The names on the mid/late 90's promotional tests
need to be posted for all to see.
Only then can we trace the family tree
of cloutery/stolen promotional exams
at CPD.
Also... Which politicians leaned on which
boss to give "their guy/gal" the promotional
blessing? That needs to be exposed too
because the number of merit dumbasses
promoting other merit dumbasses defies
any and every other plausible explaination
other than political interference with the
promotional processes at CPD.
Find and target the politicians
and you'll have the fire to go
along with all this smoke...
For them we have nothing but this...
Viva Hate.
Police Like You Have No Friends.
Oh Wow! Strange that someone on the list just yesterday said, Fuck that merit hack, just so happens to be merit himself.... Interesting.....
If I said it once , I said it a thousand times. The cpd is led by merit and exam cheating bosses.The dept. of just us and the federal courts condoned this bull shit years ago. Now with violent crime rising along with taxes , chgo is well on its way to becoming a detroit. Give it 12 yrs
025th District
It looks like Commander Escamerit is staying in 025 for good. From the outside it looks like the officers were sticking together and not doing shit. The reality is that everyone is afraid of losing their beat car or start time. So they do what they are told. If you are on the watch because of management then those officers are the most productive. The commander and his captain have weathered the storm and the numbers across the board are higher than any previous administration. We are our own worst enemy.
This Department is Like Game of Thrones. You get promoted, or you get eaten....
If you graph the collective IQ on this list, you can track the overall decline in intelligence and common sense that occurred as a result of merit promotions. The graph will show a steep drop at the exempt level.
Darwin discovered that this degrading of intellect happens when one interferes with natural selection. For example:
Merit promoties, as a matter of survival, will never recommend somebody smarter than them for promotion. Over time this results in our current CPD leadership. People are promoted way beyond thier intellectual abilities. (REF: see exempts)
For further information please see INBREEDING.
Demoralizing!!
Someone please post for the world to see , names of current and retired exempt members that were part of the Merit political hack promotions on CPD .
That is why CPD is screwed up . To many qualified Police Officers are still wearing a blue shirt assigned to a beat car or sergeant stripes in district patrol .
Eddie Johnson - multiple merit promotions...
Kevin Navarro - multiple merit promotions...
Fred Waller - multiple merit promotions...
Dana Alexander - multiple merit promotions...
Eric Carter - multiple merit promotions...
And it goes on and on and on...
Are there ANY high-ranking members of the department that actually passed even one promotional exam?
If you look at the lieutenant classes you will see that those who were promoted by rank order are (or retired as) field or watch operations lieutenants in districts, are those who were merit promotions continued to rise in the organization.
But it is all legit. EARNED NOT GIVEN.
HUGE SCANDAL to hit CPD like a hurricane developing....article in Sun Times to follow. Unbelievable!
Per PAX 501:
To celebrate the many merit promotions and clout interventions on behalf of home-grown hero Teflon Marty™, all the 018 District station toilets were flushed in unison today at 0001 hrs.
People who move up in rank via merit should be forbidden in nominating anyone else for merit. People who move up via merit should never be allowed to outbid someone who is promoted via rank order regardless of time in grade. I see so many good people dejected and passed over because they are indebted to no one. To all merit bosses I wish I could spit in your faces, but for now I'll just just in them.
Yours truly, Blueshirt.
NAGODE - enough said. Absolutely no people skills. Every time he speaks, sounds like an insurance seminar.
no wonder no one wants to work 004 third watch. this double merit goof Hassan couldn't lead his shit to the toilet. maybe now he can end his pep talks...we know you are just a clout baby who never passed a test! sure to be a commander soon, what a joke.
5/30/2017 03:34:00 AM
no one wants to work in 004 on any watch. it is seen as a place to get out of. you have the dynamic duo of Sanchez and Sears in the front office along with a group of merit lieutenants with very little time in rank running the watches. and they all know everything there is to know about police work until they have to respond to a police-involved shooting.
Last legit sergeant and lieutenant test were in the early 1990's under shortshanks daley . his people didn't make it and many retired as sergeant and lieutenant
that was the start of the merit promotional system
a few merit were good coppers , most promoted on race , gender and political sponsors rumor has it a few had excellent oral skills wink wink slurp slurp
I've posted here before. I am BROWN. I would rather have a smart WHITE boss who knows what he or she is doing, than a dumb black, brown or other who doesn't. Call me racist, Uncle Tom I don't care. I look at ALL minority bosses with question. As a minority I don't want something handed to me because of the color of my skin and you shouldn't either. It says, here brownie you can't pass on your own because your stupid, so let me help you out. You are all fools. You make all intelligent minorities look bad. You should all be ashamed, and if your not, I'll be ashamed for you.
Yall understand by 'Merit' is so abused, right? The Rahm-a-Don and his ilk want to avoid anyone getting the idea that hiring or promoting based on MERIT is anything close to a good thing. They want you all to oppose MERIT itself by making you oppose and even detest the abuses of it and then playing it as if you oppose merit ANYTHING.
The LAST thing Chicago Pols want is to have this whole merit idea reaching its TEACHERS...
Thank you SCC for talking openly about the difference between merit promotions and abuse OF the merit promotion idea itself.
If this is NOT what Rahm and crew are doing, fine, lets see the CRITERIA used for promoting people based on ummmm MERIT. Shouldn't be a problem, should it?
Looks like a page or two left out, and some names?
Incompetent promoting incompetent
The only pick that I concur with is Jim O'D. His driver always wears his appearance & fitness awards on his uniform.

Same thing for Osvaldo Valdez, this sexual harrassment producing hack has NEVER been rank order. Have no idea what he is doing in the D unit after city pays out over 300K for his case from OCD.
You idiots on here that stereotype and think that all merit spots are political hack spots need to stay where you are, Doing nothing and being bitter. There are dozens and dozens of great Police Officers out here, or just Police Officers that do that one thing, or the Officer that gets shot, or that Officer that is just good and is a bad test taker. There are numerous reasons for merit. Are there political suck holes who get in, of course, But to stereotype and lump everyone in the same boat, Is ignorant.
When The Donald was running his own business, he would never have promoted like this.
The new building being put up in 016 is just the beginning. Sears at the six corners of Irving Park, Cicero and Milwaukee is going out of business. Already some voices want to convert that huge mass of land in to a "mixed housing complex". Because if they do not do anything then it will be an eyesore.
One thing for sure - make Lt on your own, you will retire a Lt.
Make merit Lt, you can look forward to a gold braid pension!
While most people will look at the recipients - take a look at the "providers" as well. It is like looking into a papal conclave (when the cardinals pick the next pope.). Next time my paths crosses with one of these neutered clowns, i will profusely credit them with the partial demise of the CPD. The other part belongs with Rahm, and i won't be crossing paths with him.

"Hosley, Stacker, Heard all merit sgts on 3rd watch in 006 my golly, now it makes more sense...."
Don't forget about Wallace and Thomas on 3rd watch, too. They're also merit.
"Merit Promotions started in 1999 for Sgts and Lt."
And exactly how did this come to be. Did our union agree to merit promotions? Did the city just decide they are going to make who ever they want to without our union agreeing. Wouldn't that be a lawsuit What a joke Chicago is
CEO of Chicago Public Schools says the "B" word although Illinois law does not currently allow CPS to declare Chap9 bankruptcy.
So tell me, What are us civilian taxpayers supposed to make of this list? Just curious.
I understand the frustration with the Merit selections. Lets not forget we have incompetent Supervisors that made it by testing. The whole system needs to be redone. Its bordering on being a joke.
The last class of 50 lieutenants is missing. Plus some males are listed as females. Some are listed in both rank and merit. Lots of misspelled names. Don't know who created it. Lots of errors.
Merit people are dream robbers.....
3 things that have completely ruined the morale of the dept.
1. Merit promotions (especially the double and triple)
2. Cheating on tests (especially the ones getting away with it)
3. Merit bosses telling you to do things that they wouldn't do themselves
Team PP suck.....
Some very strange Bedfellows in that list. And at least now, we can see who really is a Merit hack...Some names are the same over and over again. Tragic...Now we know their sponsors.
Glad to see proof that some people did make it on test scores alone. Congrats are due. To the rest of you hacks...Garrido, Viverito, and other A/5 losers...Shame on you! You are an infestation on CPD's already bloated Ass. I hope sucking up to Dean Andrews and his like was worth it.
This list has been a long time coming. Why cant CPD be more transparent? And what is the FOP doing here? Contract time, and nothing but silence.
CPD COPS made Drudge Headline....
49 is progress!!!
In 2008 Superintendent J. Weiss; gave a merit promotion of Sgt. to P/O Michael Hunter #18555 M/1. It was listed and published by the department. This is my proof that the list is incomplete. There are many more. I singled him out only because he is Retired. I'm unsure why they left names out or why.
Just posting the truth and fact checking.
What a joke, I can't wait to retire and move away!!
These so called Bosses wouldn't be any wear if it won't for Merit......
Fake Bosses!!!!!
You ever notice how a lot of the merit end up with a Gold Star or in Units. The must be that good ______________________. I'll you fill in the blank :P
I once had a friend of mine make deputy chief. He was hispanic and a pretty sharp guy, but he also had clout. He told me that now that he is has some power he wants his and he is not ready for reform. That answer is what is wrong with this department. Once some people get some real rank, they fall right into line with the corrupt system. The only thing that would finally bring all of this corruption to a halt would be the election of an honest mayor and I don't think that this is possible in this town. Next best thing is for a former superintendent to actually tell the truth about what they know about the department.Terry Hillard could blow the roof off of the department if he wanted to .
Merit is the root of all that's wrong with the Department. The problem starts at the top. I put the blame on the Mayor. Everyone passed over should get reparations-$$$$$$
I'm glad my kids are headed in a different career path.
Study hard new people it's all legit. Wait until you get to the 20 year mark and figure it all out. Yes the cameras and GPS are their for your safety.
How come Carter's wife's name is absent from the list?
Once the cheating is confirmed on LT test everyone that took the test should sue class action because if there was cheating u never really know who had the answers who passed the answers to friends and made it. U can't gauge that . You never know how deep it goes. Sounds like a good lawsuit
0309,
You want people to rot in hell for fixing the promotion list. Jesus actually asked for forgiveness for the people who were executing him. Jesus died for the sins of every felon you arrested, boss without integrity, lying politician and conniving citizen trying to sue us for an income. Our sins were mixed in with theirs, with no distinction, on the cross.
At least the Merit people sat before the board, I know some "heavy" people who sat before the board and still didn't make it .. and they are heavy as shit.
Why do you people do this? You too can be merit promoted, what is the big deal? This department can be what you make of it, and no you do not have to suck someones cock or be someones nephew, son, daughter, whatever. It can be persistence, letting the right people know who you are and never letting them forget who you are, taking the shit jobs when nobody wanted to do them, and still letting the bosses know who it was that did that for them. Remember, the squeaky wheel always gets the oil and you can still be promoted without having to sacrifice your integrity. However, this department is wrought with jealousy, and jealousy is clear and plain as day especially when it is wielded by people who are supposed to be working for others and not themselves. Yes, this is a thankless job in more ways than one. However, when was the last time you thought of how you can benefit others (police Officers, bosses, and the public) after being promoted to Sergeant. It is more than just a bump in pay people, it's about service to others and doing more for others after being promoted.
CPD management ineptitude was the synopsis of the justice department. Merit explains it.
Seems like some Nominators hold a lot of chips and get to put up names of folks they probably don't even know.
Then there's the Long Gone Nominators putting up a pledge that never worked in the Nom's Unit.
A favor is a favor no matter how long it takes?
This Merit Nonsense needs to stop, especially the 3, 4, 5 & 6th times over.
Bring back Captain exams too, heck, save $$$ and just give them another Lt or Sgt exam to see if there was anything retained or even learned on the job.
Good that the List is out, shows who couldn't Pass the Part 2, the most Important part of these simpleton exams.
Some Merits wound up carrying their worth - others found a lazy way out to unaccountable or mystery spots and some then we're again bumped up to a do-nothing locale. Jeez, and a Merit should at least be held in a fast District for a few years.
When will FOP ever step up and publish (leak is ok too) a Current Rank Order List ???
I know a particular "clout heavy" person who thought she was going to make it past the Merit board and got the surprise of her life.She keeps saying "I'm going to be on the next list", and it's been 3 years already. Just because you're heavy that doesn't mean a thing these days.
5/30/2017 12:38:00 PM Said, "...I look at ALL minority bosses with question."
You are not a racist, but you are a self-hater. If you had said, " I look at all bosses with question", or " I give all bosses the benefit of the doubt", fine. But to look at all minority bosses with question, and disregard the white ones, means you inherently think all white ones are qualified, even though this merit list is for the most part, predominately white.
Don't be mad. All this time you been kissing the wrong ass and working for the wrong bosses. Now go get your two parkers and I'll see you at check off. Lol!
The last class of Sgts straight off the list Mar 97
This. List. Explains. A LOT.
And rank order doesn't mean much more than merit. If the Lie-tenants test was so widely disseminated among the Chosen, then it's almost a given that the Sgt test was as well.
Also, being able to study while in Call Back or in an inside spot is also different from studying while working a beat car and working your days off.
The F*ckery.
Can you post the merits starting in 1999?
Jesus did not promote nepotism, cronyism or racism! Jesus is FAIR!!!!!
Who the hell is this guy Boyd.
Merit detective sergeant and now lieutenant
All nominated thru IAD. Along with a few others.
Is he super cop or just connected up like the rest.
Since when is a civilian nominating officers for merit also?
I laugh at the lack of unity from within the ranks of you officers! So sad it is but such is reality of entitlement, egotistical individuals. Try enduring the shit of an correctional officer and you will surely understand how fortunate you are!
You want people to rot in hell for fixing the promotion list. Jesus actually asked for forgiveness for the people who were executing him.

In other news..
Bump these list we are still waiting for the Lt's scandal.
When The Donald was running his own business, he would never have promoted like this.
5/30/2017 01:45:00 PM
Agreed. The Donald would have asked for more money upfront.
To the people who post I would take a merit promotion and you would be a fool not to. You are lacking a moral compass. You are the type of person who crosses picket lines tramples people in an emergency, thinks only of themselves and adds to the downward trend in society. To the merit people who lied for years saying they passed the test it just further solidifies what a low character you are. This is a civil service job.ALL promotion should be by rank testing only. This is also Shitcago so it ain't never gonna happen.
Lots of "incest" going on on these lists. And too many repeat merit offenders to even care anymore.
Some of those RANK promotions are very questionable.
Moma Mia!
Area North Sgt Mia O has been telling the world for over a decade she was a score Sgt and not merit. So much for that bullshit story.
I love the list because so many promoted people "sold a story" hiding from merit.

Same thing for Osvaldo Valdez, this sexual harrassment producing hack has NEVER been rank order. Have no idea what he is doing in the D unit after city pays out over 300K for his case from OCD.

Now that someone else brought up Area Central first, how about all the hacks that have come through or are just now getting there? Duffin, Devine, Lamperis, Kelly, Keane, Mills, Bulnes, Gallagher, Park...just a few that come to mind. They were never detectives or if they were, it was just for a year, maybe two! Quick promotion to Sgt. and here they are running the show! Seriously, that's what has destroyed the detective division! The best and brightest my ass! Now we have three new Sgt. hacks....Murphy, Kearns, and McCarthy. One was at least a dick for a while, but one was never a detective and doesn't know shit about the job! One is a Georgass merit promotee to detective, did that for about a year, quick promotion to Sgt for about a year and now he's got a spot in the D! Before that he was locking up pissers in 18! Seriously?? With all the hits we've been taking for shoddy investigations in the D, why are we still putting inexperienced and incompetent suckholes in charge? Oh, but they're all swell guys!
I can't wait to hear from all of the merits about how they deserved the promotions. Some of them can't even spell promotion! But they know what is best for you! What a fucking joke this department has become.

this is how you get promoted by Merit on this job. Do zero police work and hide in an office doing review office work with a few years on the job and then drive like a maniac and flip over a squad car and then Lemmer will merit promote you. Does FE look in a mirror and actually believe she earned it !? Ha ha

Here's an idea. If you know any of the officers promoted on any of these List. Let's hear it. Did the Supervisor live up to the Rank? Was the Supervisor present for work? Was he / she accountable, approachable? Were they fair, honest, willing to inspire officers during roll call and in the field. Did they work both position behind the desk and in the field. If you worked under them, did they take care of you. Did you really like them and said ...dam there transferring out. Did you run into them and say when are you coming back. This is what I've notice over the years. When we took the Police Entrance Exam and we passed. When we arrived at the Academy we were not ready to hit the streets as Police Officers. It took 6 months of training, 3 month with FTOs if you had a good one. I personally didn't feel comfortable for at least 5 til 8 years in a fast district before I could really say I felt like a Veteran. And by that I mean, were I could see and imagine how this job will probable work out and how long it would take me to process it. We all know fellow officers with equal time, more time and they are still not at that level... were your scratching your head. You know, were you say No it's ok, I don't want to be on the paper. So, Supervisors are No different. Some guys do just enough work, but are studying for promotion test. Some are workers and are not studying as hard. Some make it by score and some make by Merit. And yes, and some are a houae mouse or someones driver. It's hard to change an old dog. A dog promoted will still be a dog. A worker promoted will still be a worker. You now what im saying. Ive work for both types. If you were a dam good P.O., you will follow suit and be a good Supervisor however you made it. If you weren't then you can fill in the blanks. If you were a clown in elementary school, a clown in High School, College then you will be a funny Supervisor. The stripes don't change your true colors, but there's always the exception of a few that let it go to there heads. I've seen Supervisor because they wear a white shirt and I've seen real Supervisors. So, lets hear Rank and File.
Sgt. C.L. has 2 promotions of the list? I could have sworn he was a merit guy. My contemporaries spoke extremely highly of the guy. I had my doubts until he "handled" a situation where i was totally at fault. He took "care" of it and was on my side from the beginning. Afterwards, he corrected me and from that point forward I learned never judge a book by its cover. Thanks C.L.

Hahaha, I remember when the detectives lostfrom january 2017 came out and I said that odusi-crawl was merit because her husband works directly for Eddie Johnson st 35t and Michigan. Many defending at that time because merit wasn't disclosed on that list yet low and behold.... MERIT!! So to all the defenders, most likely sherri we all knew you were merit. Another one who fooled slot of people was me sleepy Anthony Lewis. Doesn't have two brain cells and talks a huge game but MERIT and wants to hide in SVU and sleep. pretty pathetic the double merit bumps on the list. Some names are good people, others are just waste of space.
No surprise to see that asshole from 010 who calls himself the Rock and makes up bullshit General Orders as he goes along. Dude you're a fucking clown. Now go ahead and screenshot this and send it out on your little group of friends on GroupMe and cry about the way people feel about you.
Obviously d.s. the fat bald loser with two years on the job whose only friend is the salty chainsmoking beer gut ass bandit. Total goof. Enjoy your medical abuse
If you're looking for Dean Jr. that deal was made off the table.

Nice try. Are you sad now you can no longer post about how he was made merit detective?? Wait, let me guess, now that you know he's not merit he more than likely got the answers right??? Yeah, nice try loser.
Remember Jan Ashley Dillon made it legit? Um no she didn't!

Last legit sergeant and lieutenant test were in the early 1990's under shortshanks daley . his people didn't make it and many retired as sergeant and lieutenant
that was the start of the merit promotional system
a few merit were good coppers , most promoted on race , gender and political sponsors rumor has it a few had excellent oral skills wink wink slurp slurp
5/30/2017 12:31:00 PM
This city has never done any promotions on the legit. Back in the good old days, there was the payoff to the political figure (read "Captive City"). Later when efficiencies counted in the promotional scoring process, they were monkeyed around with. Then there was the "secret" answers to questions that were not in the general orders. The politician have always had their hook in the CPD one way or another.

You want people to rot in hell for fixing the promotion list. Jesus actually asked for forgiveness for the people who were executing him. Jesus died for the sins of every felon you arrested, boss without integrity, lying politician and conniving citizen trying to sue us for an income. Our sins were mixed in with theirs, with no distinction, on the cross.
5/30/2017 04:28:00 PM
There is a difference. The People that Hammered Jesus to the Cross were Following Orders.
The People that Fix the List are paying back Favors.
Damn right, this last LT. test isn't "the only one", Now a list of subject matter experts dating back to 2006 may connect the dots to more cheaters.
Ok. Now let's see the racial breakdown of this list and see if it matches the department demographics.
There is No Honor in a Merit Selection...CPD has abused it, and demoralized the whole Dept. Years, and Years of Single, double, and Triple Merit hackers....
Someone decent making on the merit list just prolongs the thinly veiled process of what the bosses call the "Good Ole Boys Club"...
A Legit Merit selection if there are any, is only a drop in the bucket. The department No longer knows how to handle crowds, and fight crime. Be very careful out there...Do 20 and Get the Hell Out!
Moving right along.
Are there ANY high-ranking members of the department that actually passed even one promotional exam?
Devereaux, Deenihan, Loughran is about it.
John Considine you liar!
Gadzooks , who would have known CPD had to go to such great lengths to reward the windwood section! Percussionists fill out your ISRs as your bandleaders are clearly racist !
Lmao!
This is probably just the tip of the douchebag.
Somebody, send this list to "The Atlantic,"
"The New York Sun," ect., ect., ect.
Get this shit out into the daylight!
The nation believes Chicago has a drug,
gang, sanctuary city program.
It has a fucking Sanctuary City Program for
Merit Promotions (SCPMP).
Get the word OUT!
Why are some listed twice with different dates?
Some are listed as detective then sergeant then maybe lieutenant.
Didn't they say that back in Capone's time,
every cop in Chicago was on the payroll?
What's different here?
All these Merit Fuckers OWE somebody!
Merit is the root of all that's wrong with the Department. The problem starts at the top. I put the blame on the Mayor. Everyone passed over should get reparations-$$$$$$
I'm glad my kids are headed in a different career path.
--------
Yeah right... Tell your kids it's all legit in the private sector.
no one wants to work in 004 on any watch. it is seen as a place to get out of. you have the dynamic duo of Sanchez and Sears in the front office along with a group of merit lieutenants with very little time in rank running the watches. and they all know everything there is to know about police work until they have to respond to a police-involved shooting.
Does Sears go out on the street in 004? She never did in 006..................not even on shootings
Yeah right your kids are career criminals.
Vucko from 008 is the biggest jag bag. Afraid of making a decision and will not make one if he doesn't have too. I remember in 009 he shot up a car and lied to the Commander about it, until Folliard told him he was requesting an ET to pull them rounds out of the car, Vucko shit himself. Just because you passed a test does not make you a good supervisor, there are many more like him.
This is why I started my own biz. I work hard and clients call and refer me. No clout. No merit.
You're given it because you're not good enough

Merit Promotions started in 1999 for Sgts and Lt.
5/30/2017 03:25:00 AM
WRONG Aug 1998 was the first Sgt's and Oct 1998 was the first Lt.
Merit = Coppers beholden to politicians
and Chicago heavy hitters to plug into
positions in the department hierarchy
to protect those same politicians and
Chicago heavy hitters in case SOMEBODY
very loudly steps on their privileged
pee-pee/puts an inadvertent boot up
their privileged pussy...
It's rare that merit is used to give
a good Policeman of demonstrable
aptitude and temperament a hand up
the promotional ladder.
As has been said many times on this blog,
there have been some rank-order supervisors
who should have been detailed down to Bulk
Storage to supervise each other instead of
being allowed to roam unchecked to torment
working Policemen.
Why do you people do this? You too can be merit promoted, what is the big deal? This department can be what you make of it, and no you do not have to suck someones cock or be someones nephew, son, daughter, whatever. It can be persistence, letting the right people know who you are and never letting them forget who you are, taking the shit jobs when nobody wanted to do them, and still letting the bosses know who it was that did that for them. Remember, the squeaky wheel always gets the oil and you can still be promoted without having to sacrifice your integrity. However, this department is wrought with jealousy, and jealousy is clear and plain as day especially when it is wielded by people who are supposed to be working for others and not themselves. Yes, this is a thankless job in more ways than one. However, when was the last time you thought of how you can benefit others (police Officers, bosses, and the public) after being promoted to Sergeant. It is more than just a bump in pay people, it's about service to others and doing more for others after being promoted.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Possibly the stupidest fucking post ever. I pray you are not on the job.
Can you post the Merit list dating back to 1999?

Just read the whole list. I know and have worked with many of the merit picks. Some were deserving, most were not. Not many surprises.
5/30/2017 03:38:00 AM
Very true! There's a handful of merit that I've had dealings with which were very good. On the other hand, there's some rank order bosses which need to be beaten with a bag of dicks. Uni-Brow Muniz in 24 is a prime example! He's the smartest guy in the district. Just ask him!

We all remember what happened to this guy. You can't do what ever you want and expect good things to come from it and not held accountable;
Thirty pieces of silver was the price for which Judas Iscariot betrayed Jesus, according to an account in the Gospel of Matthew 26:15 in the New Testament.
How sick sick sick! Bosses being made merit several times then turn around and make merit for their up and coming friends. Former Supt. Hilliard and Cliens kids merit. What a surprise! What sick place.
Listed twice with different dates, listed as rank and then merit for the same test, listed as unable to verify, its all legit.
The Merit Hacks are insecure little weasels who despise the people who made it on test score. They're afraid of being exposed as the unqualified hacks they are. That's why they don't want test score people around them. As a result you've seen all the Merit Hacks giving promotions away to other hacks over and over. It ruined the department. It's so absolutely rotten to the core you couldn't find enough test score promotees in the current exempt staff to put together a bowling team.

Didn't see the Issacson Twins listed in the Lt.' s list for last year?
All you need now is the Rank Order Promotions via the Secret Squirrel study groups?
Does anyone have the merit list for the last class of Lts (January)?
Well, well, well. Papa cline saved Joe Salami from getting nabbed by the feds back in the late 90's in area five. Salami thought Joe Miedz was THE guy and got caught with his finger in the dike. Salami payed back papa the favor by meriting baby cline. See how that works in Chicago? You pat my back, I pat yours.

Poster what's the matter? You can't read? 2 of the bosses you listed never got one promotion from merit. The proof is right here, but I guess facts don't count. Miserable peoole like you just feel better spouting lies in hopes the stipid will support your BS.
It's too legit to quit!
The one test everyone should have to pass is the sergeant's test. That way at least you know your orders or where to look. You have a better chance of treating people fairly, decently if you have spent time in the trenches & & studied bit. This list is demoralizing & reveals a ton of liars. Easier to make rank when you're not pushing a beat car in patrol with a partner on midnights, chasing the clock. So demoralizing!

I'd like to see the list that contains the names of the nominating gold stars, as well the merit board.
It's funny how you used clout to get to your cushy spot/ unit and now you're complaining aboutt the integrity of the Merit system. Isn't your take home car enough? Isn't those long lunch breaks in Oakpark enough? Isn't those five hour work days enough. Isn't leaving early on your Friday enough.You can't do a case report to save your life. Your haven't attended any trainings. Didn't you go to your units believing that you would be meritoriously promoted through the same bogus system that you're whining about?

Not all but some make Sgt and believe that they are the smartest person in the room from that day forward.They will do anything to move up the ladder no matter who they step on.
Bosses have stepped on their good friends on this job just to move up. If they think you are sharper and have more knowledge of the job then them you become a threat to them in their mind and will back stab you to no end to other bosses. This has happened numerous times on this job. Remember the best and the brightest are in charge,NOT.Stay fetal and employed. Its a long cut throat battle ahead for most on the job. Take care of the family first.

Ah, good ole KP. Ask people in Narcotics about her.
Ask the crew in 011 how full of herself she became in her brief stint there.
Better yet, ask the school officers how she tried to shit on them her last day in 011, and was basically told "Fuck You, Sarge and Get the fuck out of 011!"
Real fuckin piece of work this chick is.
I am sorry DEAN JR.
Now can you solve a case in AREA North?
Not one alert?
Not one arrest?

Good luck in all thing you do in the future and if you come and work any of my cases please don't take offense if i say no thanks.
PS juveniles don't need signed complaints!!!
Aunt Rosie from 19 was busy.
nicely done. Where did this come from a FOIA request?
ahh margie sears she actually does go out on the street in 004, responds to a few burglar alarms and then goes right back in to sit in the watch commanders office waiting for the tac guys to come kiss her ass. Hasan I agree you are a goof and it clearly shows, you tried to step in and run a watch like a seasoned LT, but failed miserably. You destroyed what LT. McMahon had built a well ran good watch to work. You clearly are not capable of running a watch, with your pie charts with green and red numbers.. How many more people are you going to drive out of 004? or bribe to stay in 004??
Why is our dept a mess, just look at the same multiple merit promotions. Any questions?
I read comments from people who praise or condemn merit promotees and also those who made it rank order. They are compared against each other with some comments that many rank order promotees are really bad. I think that you are missing the point. The promotion system should be fair for all and beyond question. Yes, some incompetents will get promoted even under the best system. But, at least everyone will have a fair chance.
At least Lt Ritchie Scotchbreath studied at TRs Pub from a barstool and passed his promotional exams.
can any dicks do a Accurint slideshow on these names?? Maybe the sit. room can do a link chart analysis as well. THAT would be telling...
