The Ed and Melissa Show
Another one of those "merit" people with a skyrocket attached to their ass:
From the February 2017 class with a graduation date of March - guess who's headed to the D Unit?
- Who is Sgt. Tom Crain? Merit? With less than a year in grade as a Sgt? What happened to Special Ed’s hard rule about moving newly promoted Sgt’s?! Must be pretty special for Staples to move him to 620, on the Homicide Team, demand Commander RB put him on days and move another seasoned Det. Sgt off the team. This guy can’t stop running his mouth about how tight he is with Staples and how quickly he’ll ascend once she’s Superintendent.
Must be nice to be able to parade your connections around and brag about it so everyone can see them.

This clown is his own worst enemy. And always worried about everyone else.
Tommy was a fantastic detective and worked homicides. He needs to be back in the d unit. Whoever works for him will be very pleased. He was/is on of the better homicide detectives out there. He’s. Waste in the district
What a joke I Truely hate this dept
Ronneberg was in 018 for a period or two then straight to the K-9 unit. Very hush hush
With the last post that came out about this a couple of weeks ago it just shows that they don’t give a flying fuck about what was said to the new class of Sergeants. They will always do whatever they dam well please. Always have and always will.
This is some BULLSHIT. These bunch of hacks can't solve a crossword puzzle let alone an actual crime. This job SUCKS and I thank goodness that I'll be out of here soon. I'm a blue shirt with no aspirations of going any further because I chose that path. It's a shame that these bullshit SGT's are going to handle a Police shooting and now you have the blind leading the blind. Get SGT A.V. a booster chair for his desk and the rest of these hacks you don't deserve to be there after just one year as a SGT. I feel bad for the kids on the job. What a joke...
If you worked with the Homicide unit you will notice the clearance rate has Dropped!
To many rules and plenty of merits lurking about.
Nobody cares right the 2 liner for that mystery shooting and put that line in NO witness No video scene contaminated. YAWN...
We welcome any SGTS who wear an ID around their neck so we can know the even work in the building.
At least the cleaning ladies are friendly to the DICKS in 610.
Merit must be eliminated.
She won’t appreciate his mouthing off about knowing her. His rocket may fizzle like a firecracker in a downpour.
Riccio nominated the Beatles' original drummer before Ringo!
Merit Sgt. Sent to 009 from sgt school. Put on days when he got there even though other sgts already in 009 remained stuck on midnights and afternoons. They had been told by the commander that no new sgts were going to days, and they could move to days when the new sgts arrived. He is not the only one. There is a merit female sgt from same class named Yolanda, last name escapes me, who went back to her unit already. Personnel or something at 35th Street. You see her name on teletypes. Just wait and see what happens with the new Lt class that just came to the districts. Every stinking merit Lt will be a commander in under two years. Some will be commanders in less then a year. There may have been a merit Lt that did not make commander in the history of the department, but I can’t think of one. Not that anyone at city hall cares, but we know you monitor this blog. This crap is exactly why the merit promotion process has destroyed moral in the police department.
Most likely sent to keep an eye on Sgt. KA and Lt. RM. You know that thing that nobody knows about? We all know. After that he will take a look at all the other know nothing sergeants which is about all of them. Here is a fun fact of the total 11 sergeants in HGS 4 are off the list. Of that 4 ONE was a dick. Want know what the problem is ? take a look at the mirror.
He deserves it, after all, he built Melissa’s deck on Leavitt Street while on the clock.
Please stop using "merit". Call it for what it is and what it always was, it is blatant in your face political patronage. Some are more equal than others, some are more royal than others. It is what Rahm and the dems call Chicago values.
Crain was the biggest scammer I have ever seen on this job. Ask any detective or sgt in the d unit.
Crain is an embarrassment. Couldn’t solve a murder when he was a detective in area central if you handed to him on a silver platter.
The guy is a stroke has said this since day one.
Her former admin Sgt. Made merit Lt last year went to forensics within months. . Riccios girl, merit Sgt JaA went to his office in OCD, .... this has been going on since MC Carthey left. The nobles have had their fair share in this close knit nepotism game, too.
Wait you guys missed it, Angelo Velasquez a double merit promotee by non other than your soap queen...
Total douche bag way back when in 153. Apparently still is, fucking snake
Sgt. Michelle Cook (Bradley) is back at. Unit 121 too. Connect those dots!!
Who gives a fuck?
Insurance for the maxed out.
When this tool made Sgt he walked around 009 saying “I haven’t seen the inside of a district in over 10 years” completely merit spoiled little b.
Sgt. Michelle Cook, another merit from a Unit, who just happens to be the gf of Commander Bradley from 006, is also back at HQ.
Movin on up. Another example of whats wrong with the CPD. If you have no fath that those over you got there position on the up and up it is reflected in the job you do. There is no Merit on the CPD, none Black,White,Yellow,Pink or Purple, None...
Special ed was just lying to anyone dumb enough to believe him.
Chicago ain't ready for reform.
Two below him, Sgt. Curtis "Terminate that Footchase" Thomas also back in 620.
More brain drain.
Wow! Whichever loser weasel who had anything to do with this post ffails to mention that Tom was actually a decent Detective for many years before making Sgt. Regardless of “clout”, After making Sgt. he went to 009 and Yes... on Days. Hate to be the one to tell you that he was awesome Sgt. to POs in 009. This Sgt was very pleasant, knowledgeable, helpful and one of the better Sgts there. So, you’re wrong and obviously angry & bitter about losing your spot and being kicked off your little white pony there in the D Unit. They’re actually bringing in a guy who knows what he’s doing and will get shit done! He was well like in 009 by everyone, sad to see him leave us and will truly be missed! There are soooo many Weasel, clout baby Merit Fucks on this job deserving of a post like this. Unfortunately they’re bashing the wrong guy for all the wrong reasons.
Sgt cook the home wrecker lol. What a joke! Co Bradley of 006
Should be ashamed of himself after that incident in the front office of 002 under Fred waller. All three lucky that domestic battery was swept under the rug.
Officers in 002 will never forget.
Hmmmm. Let's not forget Sgt EA. A staples boy for sure. When in robbery he was dumped for circumventing the chain of command and going directly to Commander Salamie with his beefs. Jojo showed him who the big boss was and dumped him to svu. Now he comes back as staples eyes and ears. Merit, merit, merit and has all his former sgts on pics and needles.
With thousands of officers showing up at the monthly FOP meetings demanding the elimination of merit how is this even possible anymore?.....
Department is a joke! Another Detroit. Detroit failed because of mismanagement.
If they continue with merit promotions which they will it should be limited to only one merit promotion through rank of Lt
What a douche
Just one example of what's wrong with this department

This IS the CODE OF SILENCE that the runt at city hall was talking about and his mdedia refuses to report on...
Given not earned, the only thing you can do on this job now if you are not connected, is stay fetal, take all exams to try and bump up that pension. If you score high enough, they can't deny you, but the highest you can ever go is Lt. Before you say bull, retired Lt scored in top 10, Sgt, just made it, scored in top 400, Detective, scored in top 50. I was a good test taker and yes, the real police, also told I was a good boss as well. But you see, the pension stopped at Lt. NO CLOUT! Look at the command staff in this department, 95% given not earned with multiple bites of the merit apple. But, they are all good guys, and gals right? Good luck, and may God keep you safe!
Tommy was a fantastic detective and worked homicides. He needs to be back in the d unit. Whoever works for him will be very pleased. He was/is on of the better homicide detectives out there. He’s. Waste in the district
Then he should have passed on the promotion and stayed in the unit. I was a good V/C dick back in the day also, was a tuff decision but I took the promotion, not merit by the way. Never made it back to the D unit, and watched many others that were never detectives get moved there as sergeants. Must be nice having clout, and idiots like you as cheer leaders. Maybe when he gets his gold star, he can throw you some crumbs.
Ronneberg was in 018 for a period or two then straight to the K-9 unit. Very hush hush
1/09/2018 12:29:00 AM
That’s bad info. He’s still in 018 on midnights.
The only way this department can every regain some credibility, is to bring in a person like William Bratton to run it, and totally change the merit promotion system. Anyone made sup from within will be an unqualified merit hack, that will maintain the status quo. And yes, "they are merit, but a good guy", will not cut it any more.
So Merit lieutenant Yolanda Talley is back at Human Resources? Wow that didn't take long. She was in a district for a whole two periods if that! He Ed , next time you or any of your commanders are pushing activity, walk over to Human Resources and ask Yolanda what her activity was and is. What a complete joke. That woman has never did one ounce of police work but that's ok because she knows the superintendent and his wife so let's make her a merit lieutenant. What a disgrace.
Sgt TC was a great Detective and will be a great Sgt. Detective. 620 is full of dumb ass supervisors. It's about time we start getting some good ones.

Sgt JA now works days with weekends off and a take home covert car.
They tried booting crain out of homicide years ago. But Staples was his juice. Useless turd.
I know it’s a pipe dream, but would it be too much of a expectation if one of these bosses used their merit spots and literally filled that position by the person who was next highest from the list?! Never happen, but sure would be refreshing.
Cant speak for Crain as a Detective and know nothing about who his juice is or what people have said theyve heard him brag about, but hes been a good guy from what ive seen since hes been in 009.
And that is why being a Sgt who’s bid to a district and bid to a watch is worth its weight!
Basically “untouchable”.
16 months and counting down...

Sounds like he will fit right in. All the merits in one place. What could go wrong?
Sounds like he suffers from diarrhea of the mouth.
“...after all, he built Melissa’s deck on Leavitt Street while on the clock.” ...and he’ll tell anyone that’ll listen that she’s his juice because she owes him! Hey Chief Staples, this is who you chose to reward...a loud mouth who doesn’t know the definition of discretion?!? C’mon, surely there must be someone more deserving?!?!

Funny thing is, Angelo even told other detectives he wasn't going to be around very long. We couldn't believe it when he was moved to a plain clothes in 009. We thought that's what he was talking about. Oh well, glad I'm leaving soon.
Reaching into your toolbox and choosing the one right tool is better than having an unaffiliated Merit Maroon giving you something from theirs.
Asking for a wrench and getting pliers.
Some Merits (as we've all seen) turned out to be real duds as far as productivity goes.
Flunky follow the leader for an entire coddled career: The Right Man for the Right Time™ - absolutely NO accomplishments.
Just more evidence of how rotten CPD is at the top. One set of rules for us; something completely different for them.
On the other hand, it's not entirely CPD's fault because the rot goes straight to Rahm. If CPD is in disarray it's advantageous to Rahm. He can spew most anything he wants for any purpose he wants and then blame CPD for any and everything, and make it all sound believable to the schlub on the corner (aka voter.)
Simply put, a F'd up CPD is better for Rahm than a great CPD because he can always hold out the promise of making CPD better if only the voters give him another chance. Rahm is a weasel who will betray and backstab anyone if doing so helps him hold onto power.
Until there's a leader at the top who demands excellence, ethics, accountability and who exhibits it himself, CPD will be stuck in an endless cycle of its own Groundhog Day. It will never fix itself from within.
Melissa Staples. I do not know her or anything about her. You see, I am retired from the job. But, as Chief of Detectives, I wonder why she is not being held accountable for the miserable violent crime clearance rate ? The lowest homicide clearance rate of any large urban area in the country.

Merit must be eliminated.
1/09/2018 01:17:00 AM
Yes, it should be eliminated, but it won't. The courts and the public really do not care about nepotism, cronyism, feather bedding and all of the other tricks a corrupt democratic administration knows and pulls. I recall when the city held hearings to establish the " merit system" convened by none other then the corrupt Ald. Beavers. He promised that the merit system would be on the up and up and only great cops who had trouble " putting pencil to paper" would benefit. Ya, right.
Haha!
As a dic in unit 610 T.C. was known for 2 things-
1) Never doing ANYTHING with any of his cases, and
2) Making some of the best OT on the floor while doing nothing.
That move is not surprising at all.
This is happeneing everywhere. A new Sgt in 001 went right back to the DOC (or CPIC...one of those crystal ball units) another to a homicide team. Several years ago, a double merit (det then sgt), went from 010 to an area team. This after he pitched a bitch because he didn't get put in a class earlier. Can't these merit hacks ever just shut up and be humble for a minute?!?!
Inept, inexperienced, and unqualified.
These type of people always cause trouble for the people that have to be around them, and always leave a mess for others to clean up.

lol hahahahaha, jajajajajajajajajajaja - whats wrong Tommy, did Melissa lose her shit on you! Why not just tell her she "owes" you like you tell the rest of us.
Sgt Crain was a horses ass as a Detective. He couldn’t solve a murder if it happened right in front of his eyes. All him and his partner did Area central was rob OT. Both were bumps on a log and didn’t solve shit. He made a ton of OT by dropping off his partner at home and going home. Then 5hrs later grab his partner and go back in an fill out OT slips. The man is a farce... His merit sponsor ain’t never been the Police either,so what did U expect... Good Luck with anything changing. Rahms a horses ass,Joe Ferguson couldn’t investigate a cat napping. Special Ed and the command staff are a bunch of political hacks,so now U no why they don’t give a shit about fixing anything bcuz they don’t know how 2!!!

Ughhhhh hey retiree , as an active Det with a year left, I ask u to check your info sources again . . . It’s the highest clearance in a few years . Look it up.
Speaking of hacks...is 610 the only area that’s a dumping ground for these connected assholes??? RBT just got another hack Sgt. from OLA and Word is he’s never even been a detective. There’s another big mouth in 001 that spent a hot minute in 610 handling the garbage cases, but he cant stop talking about how he’s going right back as a supervisor. Another 18th District assclown that’s done zero street work! God help us! More supervision by assholes that don’t even know the job. But yes sir! Slurp! Slurp! And poof! They magically appear!

" investigation " ?
Staples has her hands all in the D-Unit for mediocre reasons. You should see the supervisors kiss the asses of Staple’s handpicked people.

What was fantastic about him? Was the Homicide rate less than 20% when Tommy was there or did it drop when he left? How many did he clear by arrest? Honestly neither of them should be meritoriously promoted. The clearance rate is a damn shame.
Eddie voluntarily stood before us, a class of new sergeants and declared that the merit sergeants had to work patrol two years before running to their hiding spots. Oh and he put on a show. Six months later, close to half of the meritoriously promoted sergeants are working the desk or in units. It’s scary knowing that he has to make decisions concerning officers faith.
Well at least he was once a detective. They need to dump the D-Unit supervisors who has never worked as a detective. Trust me you can tell the difference. Question: How could they provide guidance? Answer: They don’t.

You can’t think of much of anything. You are so misinformed it’s embarassing. Either you were mistakenly misinformed of willingly ignorant.
If a Homicide dick gets kicked off of one Homicide team for doing nothing, he can transfer to another unit and join another Homicide team and do nothing.
They try so hard to take care of their people, the transfer orders are all jacked up. There’s at least 3 revisions to each transfer order.

Slide down that page a little further and you get to Curtis Thomas, another merit sergeant back in the D unit in less than 9 months.
Well at least he was once a detective. They need to dump the D-Unit supervisors who has never worked as a detective. Trust me you can tell the difference. Question: How could they provide guidance? Answer: They don’t.
And they are not supposed to, if you can't do your job, then perhaps you are in the wrong job. The Sgt is supposed to do Sgt's duties, mostly deal with cry baby brats with superiority complexes who act like they know every fucking thing. But, when they realize that they do not, need someone to blame.
The Sgt's in HGS run the office, mange the day to day operations, like overtime; and seldomly take an active role in any investigation. Nobdy complains when they are on their knees with a yellow slip held up.
TC is a good guy. He's stand up. Glad he's in the area. Tommys a big boy, I'm sure he doesn't give a fuck what you cry babies think. Grow a pair.
Camel Commander never left 35th and Michigan for almost 20 years and suddenly she’s exempt material? Best and the brightest......unearned and clout driven.

I see you’ve never met or worked for P. Bauer currently assigned to 018. Smartest guy in every room he enters.
Please oh please!!!! Someone take 1020 Uber back to the D unit ASAP!! This dude can't do anything srgt related thats outside of entering his logs into the computer... Which are probably all wring due to the fact he can't find anyone to log because he doesn't know how to use a POST. Maybe it's his age but either way PLEASEEEEEEE take him back to the D Unit!!
Sgt Ja? How many years experience ?
Look at Sgt CL. Was a Sgt for a little over a year (most of which he spent inside on his knees), gets moved to 606 as admin sgt (WTF does that job entail?), and now just kisses ass and spends more time on his knees. Anyone want to wager when he makes merit Lt? I’m sure it’ll be greatly merited with his courageous “administrative” accomplishments.

Well at least he was once a detective. They need to dump the D-Unit supervisors who has never worked as a detective. Trust me you can tell the difference. Question: How could they provide guidance? Answer: They don’t.
And they are not supposed to, if you can't do your job, then perhaps you are in the wrong job. The Sgt is supposed to do Sgt's duties, mostly deal with cry baby brats with superiority complexes who act like they know every fucking thing. But, when they realize that they do not, need someone to blame.
The Sgt's in HGS run the office, mange the day to day operations, like overtime; and seldomly take an active role in any investigation. Nobdy complains when they are on their knees with a yellow slip held up.
Not true. Sergeants are supposed to led an investigation. Most can't. Be grateful most dont know what they are supposed to do. Thus you get more freedom.
One team at my area has sgt like this. You need a phone call to get on the team, another to stay and you better like to work and making OT. Must be nice to have a call to get on what a high ranking sup calls the A team.

if a Det. needs to consult his Sgt, that's fine. Personally, I have NEVER needed to do this. Sgts were good guys and all, but just not needed in that regard. There's plenty of other Dets. to kick around ideas with. I have had Sgt. who were never Dets. and they were the best Sgts. around. They catch on. This isn't brain surgery. All the homicide guys should stop believing that all the Det. shows are true.

Camel Commander never left 35th and Michigan for almost 20 years and suddenly she’s exempt material? Best and the brightest......unearned and clout driven.

"Camel Commander" ahahahahahahahahahaha. SCC, please don't let that clip die. That was some of the funniest shit I've seen on this dumb job. Maybe a compilation of dumb ass CPD moments. 2017 would be Camel Commander, 006 district officers kneeling, 014 CAPS office Pie in Cop's Face, Well-Fed Ed's wedding dress debacle... I'm sure I'm missing a lot more.

^^^^^^
That statement alone is an example of why you should dumped. You should be embarrassed, but you’re not. You have no idea what’s required of you. Sergeant you are a SUPERVISOR you should be supervising and leading investigations. But you can’t because you never worked as a detective. I was once a detective and my experience has helped me as a patrol sergeant.

Melissa Staples. I do not know her or anything about her. You see, I am retired from the job. But, as Chief of Detectives, I wonder why she is not being held accountable for the miserable violent crime clearance rate ? The lowest homicide clearance rate of any large urban area in the country.
Ughhhhh hey retiree , as an active Det with a year left, I ask u to check your info sources again . . . It’s the highest clearance in a few years . Look it up.
..and that’s a crying shame.

Please don’t tell me that the biggest part of your job is to sit in the HGS office and manage the overtime. What a joke!

In that case they should eliminate sgt’s in D-Unit all together. Sarge you’re the one in the wrong job and why are you concerned with others having a superiority complex? Is that an offense to your incompetence?
The unions need to either negotiate with the city of eliminating the patronage promotions, limiting them to one time in their career or getting a state statute prohibiting them. 99.9% of them are useless hacks who could not even write their own names correctly.
What a bunch of crybabies ... Tom is a good guy knows the job and sticks by his people a lot like Staples... if I know Tom or Staples you’d know they are cut from the same cloth... perhaps that’s why she took care of him... Step on your dick and look over to your side Tommy will be standing right next to you...
"Tom is a good guy."
"Tom is a stand up guy."
"Tom has balls."
***Didn't know Tom Crain read the blog & wrote about himself on it. Tom worked in 011 as a patrolman & leopards don't change their spots.

No Sgt better be leading any investigation unless they are prepared to start dropping supps and willing to go to court and testify. Only thing I want to hear from a Sgt is “What can I do to help your investigation ?”
