"Merit" Nominee
Only the best and brightest are considered for "merit" you know. Here's a perfect example:
- Rumor is Narcotics will be the first to feel the full brunt of an OT audit under the new civilian finance accountability regime, thanks in part to this:
This is sergeant [VA] fast asleep in a covert car while working a long term wire. Supposedly he wasn't answering his radio or BlackBerry when they were trying to get of hold of him, and this is how guys on his team found him. You may remember [him]: he was listed as "Undercover Sergeant" in the Sun-Times' OT article a while back, number 2 or 3 in top overtime earners if I recall correctly.
I guess he's not too well liked, so this picture was sent up the chain and they're scrambling to react to it without dinging him because he's tight with the noblest of NOBLE. He is supposedly on the shortlist to get a merit bump to Lieutenant, go figure.
This doesn't seem like an efficient use of Department overtime. We could be wrong, but does this look like someone who is going to closely watch over his team? Make sure they're doing their jobs? Scrupulously monitor their overtime, ensure that they're not .... stealing from Federal bait cars?
Remember - accountability for some.
Remember - accountability for some.

Rham are you gonna Nickle, dime, or peso him for sleeping on OT or unleash a inspector on him.... ha ha, I know u are not-- the guy is too connected
His bluetooth earpiece must be on the other side.
Bullshit do nothing unit, better to get rid of it..,
He’s actually training for his stint as a LT. on midnights, and he’s practicing sleeping while in a chair. He won’t go RIGHT BACK to Narcotics right away (wink wink), so he’s just preparing. He should be commended for taking the initiative and training on his own.
Seriously though, do they really think morale is abysmally low just because of the Ferguson effect and the beating we get from the media? It’s nonsense like this that makes my blood pressure go up.
For God sakes! End Merit promotions already! At least stop at the rank of Sgt. Hasn't this department learned anything yet after creating the monstrosity known as 'Escamerit?' Mutiple merit promoted bosses are an anachronism. They have no place in a supposedly honest, modern day police department. The rank and file got the memo and everything is now legit with body cameras, gps, mics, and in car cameras. Too bad the fucktards down at City Hall don't send themselves a memo and quit promoting these dumb fucks.
As long as multiple merit promoting exists, corruption will forever be a part of Chicago Policing. Dumb, ignorant bosses that reach the rank of Lt or higher, that are too stupid to pass at least one of the tests on their own, will have a toxic, trickle down effect of poor policing to those that are underneath them in the chain of command. You can't argue that. It is that simple.
Hey! Wave some smelling salts under his nose. Old Sgt Apollo Creed needs to wake up and fight another round if he wants to make merit Lt!
He's definitely eating well. Couldn't chase down a perp if he tried.
Sleeping on the job?.. meh..
He will be promoted. Watch.
Don't divert attention from the big "elephant" in the room. The Gang Unit guys are screwed and dirty as hell. The FBI is just beginning.....
"The noblest of the noble" = "noblesse oblige."

Dear SCC:
As you know, sergeants, such as the one pictured, usually have nicknames. If not from their teams, the IAD agent assigned to handle the CR# .
Today’s nickname would be the “Snoozy Sergeant”.
Tomorrow’s nickname is Beat 710.
And he's a militant, racist JO on top of being an OT scamming prick. Absolutely hates YT, while openly favoring black officers whether it's for nicer assignments, OT opportunities, time off, you name it. I'm sure not much if anything will happen to this asshole as a result of this pic, but if anything, the public gets another taste of how dysfunctional CPD is, especially the clouted pets. His OT needs to be audited - a grade schooler can add up the numbers and see that it would impossible to be at work an average of 20+ hours a day for weeks at a time. This shit needs to be investigated and the scammers like Vince be disciplined/criminally charged.
This guy must really be hated to take this picture and pass it up the chain. I'm not crazy about the public seeing this. They don't see the " asshole merit Sgt". They just see a " fat lazy cop" and will group us together like they always do
Someone hasn't missed many meals.
Naw....nothing will happen to him. He's bulletproof...He's got heavy clout.
Wasn't it just a couple years ago that a copper in 008 caught a few days after a picture of him sawing logs in his squad car surfaced?
The good sergeant here needs at least triple the whack as he is supposed to lead by example. And then tack on a couple more for being an arrogant D-Bag.
I want to know who hires a man with out eyes? Were the answers to the Lieutenant's test provided to him in braille? As the top Phaseolus vulgaris would say, I 've got more questions than answers...
Come on man give the good Sergeant a break. He's so tried working hard steady earning that meritorious promotion. And it aint his fault, he wasn't fitting to go to Narcotics, It was not his choice He had to go to O.C.D. He gots a medical condition he be NARCO-leptic. and short on cash.
Isn't the sergeant attached to the latest team scandal all over the news a merit promotee as well?
Where is his picture here on the blog?
Kimble brought this on Narcotics, he wants to be fair, but he plays favorites. He pits supervisors against each other, allows all the POs he worked with to do what they want. His old teammates are given the golden ticket without explanation. They need to start with his Admin Sgt (NG) who doubled her salary in OT last year, completely impossible. Kimble had to approve her slips, so I’m sure they guys and gals in Narcotics won’t be sad to see him and his Sgt get the boot. VA is the last person who should be given a merit promotion.
It seems like that's an awfully powerful reflection of the setting sun's glare off of those Ray-Bans......
A good portion of the overtime cash cow is federal $$$. Hope the Feds get involved and hammer his stupid, greedy ass. What a fucking embarrassment, but I'm not surprised. Lazy, entitled scammer is what Vince has always been and I've known him since before he came on the job.
Steve H.
The sgt must be tired from all rham over time.
It's things like this that contribute to the low opinion the public has of CPD. CPD should be looking into firing him not promoting him. If someone like this is considered "MERIT" what does that say to the honest Police Officer?
Merit or no merit make these Sgts work. Call for them over the radio for every decision that needs to be made. Have them show up on scene for any job that might present a problem. You have Sgts ducking and covering for each other.
He sooooo tired.
2 Huge steps to right the ship Abolish All Merit and EVERYONE WEARS A CAMERA
He’s not sleeping, he’s praying.
You know all that OT take a toll.
He loves to steal Federal funded money he will get a call from the Feds and locked up with the other eight then he will sing like bird Love the Merit picks Fuck CPD Special Ed is a joke Merit all the way up the ladder RIGHT
Shhh cant make this public. Where is COPA on this? Where is he media? Not a freakin word in the media on this?
Isn't the sergeant attached to the latest team scandal all over the news a merit promotee as well?
Where is his picture here on the blog?
===
Hasn't been charged dumbass. This goof has his picture up and down the chain of command for administrative discipline and where is that? Stop making excuses for idiots.
maybe he's just restin, he knows he's restin.
Who is his clout?
so tired from working alllllll that OT..............yawn
don't worry, nothing will happen, we live in a sanctuary city.
anything that is fucked up or wrong is perfect in chicago. rahms way
You haters kill me being against merit promotions as if the regular test that the chosen elites are allowed to study isn’t Complete BS! Good thing for merit or All supervisors would have the same last names FOR DECADES!
He will be charged soon after he wakes up and has lunch
Last drug taken must have been powerful judging from picture posted. Merit my ass, fire him or at least demote him. This is why things are the way they are. Good example of see something say something, thanks to whoever posted picture. As they say worth a thousand words.

He was just playing possum and ready to spring into action awaiting the call from NOBLE notifying him that Special Ed was ordered to promote him.
The poor guy is just getting a few winks in, he has to work all the time you know.....
I hope this guy’s OT is audited first because he will definitely lose some sleep then.
Once the audit is over, He won’t be looking at another merit bump, he’ll be looking at prison time.

VA might be a bullshitter and a scammer, but "militant" and "racist" do not apply to him.I'm a YT and he never openly favored black officers over the whites.
Maybe you're just a jagoff and he doesn't like you.
Off topic:
From the NRA-ILA newsletter-“On Thursday, the Illinois Supreme Court unanimously ruled that a state prohibition on firearm possession within 1,000 feet of a public park violates the Second Amendment. The case is People v. Chairez.” Any wonder why this wasn’t covered in the Lamestream media. Good to see Illinois judges side with the rights of the citizens for a change.
-South Side Sergeant
Don’t forget to take a look at the Lieutenant in Intellignece 191 and his boys. It’s been going on for years.
I thought they got rid of the "Long term team" after Miami Vice and they dumped that jag bag "JR" from narcotics and he retired only to work holding the Bulls jock straps.
How does EEOC or OSHA laws even allow this much overtime- sounds like staffing is an issue
The OT hounds obviously have to sleep sometime. I see this kind of thing in factories where are they are overly reliant on overtime and some people just lap it up. Guys whose jobs aren't real visible sometimes that are really tired just can doze off in an instant without even meaning to. I don't know this guy but I've seen some really decent people who just nodded off just from lack of sleep. It doesn't make them a bad guy. It does mean that they aren't being supervised properly. There ought to be a limit on how much overtime is allowed. It makes for a guy who is dangerous to himself and other people and quite frankly isn't getting much done anyway.
Not a cop.
Boy he reminds me of Fred Coffey, who was promoted to Sgt.last year.his wake is his daddy who was a deputy chief. FRED was a PO in SOS and would actually hang his head out the window of the squad sleeping whole his partner drove. A total waste. And I'm sure he is a ball of fire as a lead by example supervisor.
His FTO was Sgt Watts

If charged, His picture is about to be plastered on every newscast, online media outlet and newspaper in Chicago and most of the nation. At least this goof got his some of his face blurred out.
Looks like he’s dreaming of dollar signs from all that O.T,
Sgt NG doesn't work the street but can sit inside and DOUBLE her salary?????
Bullshit. Never has to run from.side job to side job or VRI. Can sit in one place and jist drop a slip when she feels like it. Audit 189 and ADMIN SGT.
Did the previous Admin sgts make that much OT $$$??????
Doubt it. If 189 is that messed up time to start dumping people.....starting with scammers like NG. Get into a car and work the street. No way someone who sits inside protected by 4 walls, armed officers should be making more than people on the street dealing with the animals.
Don't say perp.
To 1:54am, no we won't. Problem is that you're stuck working on the wrong side of town and that's all you hear from those jamokes. Hard as it is , tune that shit out. Don't let those bastards win. We know a VAST MAJORITY of police are worthy of wearing the badge. This era of police bashing will end when enough citizens step to the plate and voice dissatisfaction with the way things are. Good will always win over bad. Stay strong and stay positive.
Look at the passenger seat recline, apparently the tied sahge had company in that mobile Lazy Boy.
There’s plenty of plausible excuses available for his actions...er, lack thereof.
The size of the spare tire is a decent indication of HBP and perhaps Type 2 diabetes.
The Merit promotion caused this situation.
You don’t get one of those being pro-active in your old patrol days, if he had any.
Remedy: Demote to PO on a foot beat.
What’s the penalty for a person charged with a local Cook County drug possession offense these days?
Is the bloated field mouse Narcotics Unit really needed anymore?
I don’t know, but is it safe to say 10% of the Unit is house mouse?
I’m sure there’s plenty of hot spots with quantities beyond the imagination, but those should be Fed assist cases.
Until the County and the Fed are one the same prosecutorial page, low level Narcotics is a dead issue and the Unit needs major overhaul. Even the tact warrant is a waste of time these days in Sanctuary City.
To 3:49am. Hey, that's my line! I stole it fair and square from an old timer in 1973 when I was a young pup. Now I have to look up what a "phaseolus vulgaris" is!I might not want to use it anymore after I find out.
VA - Nice man . Always has a smile on his face and kind a kind “hello” when passing in hallways. I have worked
For him at time and thought he was a good supervisor. Actually read all paper before signing off. Made sure job got done. Not sure the details about this incident nor do I. Are . My experience with him he was fair, kind, looked out for his officers , and did supervise and review all paperwork .
Signed a M/2
He’s ready for an exmpt spot.
Any kind of audit in Narcotics should begin with Sgt. NG who made double her salary in OT while sitting inside doing absolutely nothing. I guess kissing the Commander’s ass grants you unlimited OT.
If he “works” 20 hour days for weeks on end then no wonder he’s so tired.
C’mon Rahm and Ed here’s a perfect person to drop the hammer on and make an example out of.... sort of set the tone for your next round of “ reforms”.
Former CHIEF of IAD J.R.(who was demoted then decided to retire) has his "guy" buried over in narcotic's SGT R.H. he is another one that thinks he is "untouchable", he pulled in over 50.000 in O.T. last year,with no arrests....LMAO
He ate the “ quad “ cheeseburger at choppers on Ashland ave!😮
2/03/2018 12:39:00 AM
Commander Escamilla is one of a kind in 025. The man is arrogant and does not know how to talk to people. Burning bridges with the very people who made you is not smart Tony.
has he ever caught a carjacker, how can you when sleeping
isn't there a workout room in that building looks like he needs to do the stairs lift weights before his cholesterol levels get to high too much deep fried food it must be "the Ronald Kimble" effect over there in Unit 189-go figure....
What the hell, if he can do it, why can’t I ?

Doubles her salary in OT to sit inside and push paper. Boss approves her slips? Yea, it’s all legit and the DOJ recommends more supervisors What a joke.
Hey Ron, the officers in Narcotics know you are trying to make a name for yourself and get another bump. It will be funny if you will be the demise of Narcotics as you know it. Promoted way above your your pay grade, now you want to play “how to be a boss”. Everyone knows you are sensitive and take things personal, that’s bad business Ron. Can’t wait to hear if you have a staff meeting bc of this blog post.

Did you think a little thing like that would stop a merit promotion or a transfer to a special unit. Come on now
This is is what the public wanted. For good officers to stand up and say something. To call-out the dirty cops. Although I'd argue that that's what we've been doing all along, the question is, will the public now listen? Is there any real media out there or are you all bought and paid for by the same corrupt politicians that protect clouted parasites like this?

Maybe he and the administrative sgt have a bet to see who can get the most OT.
Look at many merits , could not pass power test. Dumb as a door nail
Stealing overtime. That lt that approved it is in on the corruption
Certain tactical lt made triple in overtime compared to other tactical lieutenants. Corruption handled with another promotion
Had a lot of OT money on him just cashed the check ! Lucky baster

Would be impossible to work 20+ hours every week. Evidently it’s not, look at their time card and check. They are doing it. LOL
Look at the bright side. At least they are giving you hard work for that OT. They could be sleeping in a car. Opps
This picture alone should have him put back in a district on a watch. Handle some real police supervision sarge!
He should file a grievance with the FOP and Sgts association for the city not purchasing cars with reclining front seats. Bad for the back and might have to go on medical. That would cost loss of income from OT
Sleeping on the job is standard for corrupt people in Chicago. Rahm Emanuel sleeps on the job all the time!
Someone get this man a pillow!
OT
Trainwreck
https://www.policeone.com/patrol-issues/articles/470539006-Instructor-Baltimore-recruits-set-to-hit-the-streets-with-poor-understanding-of-law/
Time to drain that unit.....too many cpnnected people who are so far removed from reality they actually think they DESERVE to have a take home car and unlimited OT....
Looks like OT Sarge In Narco/Gangs , Tact Lt from 6 Big OT scammers we’re both Merit , untouchable
Big problem is the person approving this overtime
It is time for an investigation from BGA. IG
These two should be fired and supervisor that approved suspended
He’s just dreaming of that nice pay bump and all that cash he’ll kick up the chain😴
One of the few places where someone can be assigned with ZERO police experience and no background or history of writing warrants or narcotics arrests and be special and get a take home car with tons of OT $ . 189 is a watered down version of what it once was.
Retired 189
Place is filled with merit SUPERVISORS....and if they aren't MERIT they are very connected individuals.....just look at the Lt's in that unit. Not hard to connect the dots.
I'm a Sgt who is white. I used to work in 189 as a PO. I've worked with VA in the past and the present. He is a decent guy. Sorry to all the haters out there. Anyone can fall asleep on this job and especially on a long term investigation. This is bad but, I'm sure everyone on this job has never done anything wrong or dozed off for a minute or two. This is why the City of Shitcago wins everytime. We feed our own to the wolves just to make ourselves feel better for a minute or two. PATHETIC!!!!!!!!!!
He gone thank Special Ed one Merit down the drain!
That is why we have Merit they keep a eye on things right Special Ed
these gang units don't do shit and are useless..
Now I lay me down to sleep. I pray the merit raise I get to keep. If someone gets shot before I wake. A nineteen-paul I'll surely take. God bless Rahm Emanuel, all the Chicago aldermen, and Fast Eddie and all the merit hacks. Amen.
Not too shocked to see this picture. VA actually believes he is untouchable. That clown needs to get back to reality. A nice district he can call home.
Even if the dept ended merit the last LT exam should be a reminder it doesn't matter. I mean come on now people cheat and actually walk around and act like they earn it.
The good Sergeant will make a perfect Lieutenant he will fit in just fine.
Damn...if only we were in contract negotiations where this could be addressed....
And where does all that surveillance lead too??? 80 hours OT and a 3 bag arrest. (thrown out in cook county).
It’s all legit kid!
There is a lot of OT fraud. Look at the OCD facebook officer who made 350 hours in ONE PERIOD! Brings the heat on all of us!
Only a fool would do more than expected on this job!
OMG you mean I can't double my salary, sit inside all day and get my take home care full of free city gas??!*@*@*@
This admin spot is tough.....cone in late around noon everyday and sit for an ectra 2 hours on OT and then give myself 2 hours extra on the slip for travel time....I mean what's a sgt to do? Work for 8 and go home....bawahahahahhahaha
That’s a future Dep Chief!
RE: He’s actually training for his stint as a LT. on midnights, and he’s practicing sleeping while in a chair--
Hey! Not all of us midnight liutenants sleep. Someone has to stay awake to rouse you up to amswer the radio while you "do traffic enforcement" on that stop sign the communty is probably complaining about (wink wink). Not all bosses are dogs either there cowboy.
nothing will happen to him. He's bulletproof...He's got heavy clout.
So, embarrass his clout. Name the guy or girl who takes care of him. Once that starts to happen these big bosses will start getting into their merit baby's ass.
Let’s stop using the term Merit and let’s use the term “RANK THIEF”. Call it what is!
No better or worse than the yes sir, incompetent supervisors in Area Central
I want me one of dem jobs. Do you no how hard it is to get some nod time in 007 ???
Don’t worry Ron will save, if was Hispanic or white he they would have launched. There is about 4 people in Narcotics that are in a TIME OUT, and none of them are Hispanic or white, umm wonder why
Maybe it's time to lead by example with this "elite" unit. How about people start getting OT audited so we all can see the hard work these people are putting out there. Not like the old buy bust days when a team of 15 po's and one sgt would lock up 2 bust outs for delivery and be done in under 4 hours but get paid for 12 hours.........I mean it's not like stealing is it????????????
Time to tighten the belt ladies like everyone else.

Fucking embarrassing again!
Where do I sign up to surveil the inside of my eyelids for time-and-a-half?
Aside from being embarrassing and criminal, depending on the location where he was counting sheep, his safety was probably compromised. It's obvious he wasn't somewhere off the beaten path if guys on his team were able to find him like this.
Street raised motherfuckers ain't stupid, they know who the police are; this would be easy and immediate "street cred" for some ghetto, police hating pooch that wouldn't think twice about walking up to a sleeping cop and putting a few rounds right in his head. Hell, a robbery attempt not knowing it's the po-po in the car has the same very real potential to get sideways, yielding the same results.
Not only did you bring discredit upon the department, Sahhhhgggeeee, you left yourself completely vulnerable. Hope those huge overtime checks are worth it.
You guys are so quick to judge. Maybe he wasn’t sleeping. Maybe his eye were shut in a meditative state. Kinda like a zen type state of mind whilst focusing on gang enforcement duties. That practice makes him a better cop.

This is all on the commander. I'm sure nothing will happen to him, but at least it'll set a precedent for anyone else caught sleeping. You can just grieve the punishment based on this clown's. and the new beat shouldn't be 710. It should be 710R.
CPD such a joke.
Good God the envy of every person who has gotten a merit promotion on this blog is ridiculous. We get it, merit isn’t right - unless it’s a partner you like, and then you say “he’s just not good at taking tests.” But every cop on here has fallen asleep on this job. It’s what juggling the job and family life does to everyone. It may happen more often to the side job whores who refuse to live within their means, but even someone who just works this job can get physically exhausted from the schedules and their conflict with when our natural sleep cycles are.
Also, it’s pretty funny for cops on here to talk about this guy’s gut. Have all of you looked to your left and right and seen the shape of your colleagues? How about down? Have you looked down at your own waistlines? I have. I need to lose 40 lbs. And I’m 42’years young. So I don’t talk shit.
I don’t know this sgt. and I don’t have a horse in this race. But the diviciveness on this department is tearing it apart. We can’t even stand together - we’d rather talk shit and drive wedges between us. Do you think no one in the unit knew their partners was stealing? They all knew. But no one took a step back and said “I can’t believe we just did that. We will never speak of this, to anyone, and we will never do it again.” Everyone on this HUGE department has 2nd chances. We all get away with shit that wouldn’t be tolerated elsewhere. But we never police ourselves. Instead we talk shit about everyone. We don’t turn in dirty cops, because we don’t want to be a rat. But then we cry when the public and the news media calls us dirty pigs. Well guess what? We took an oath when we took this job. You’re not being a rat when you call out a dirty cop. I don’t want a dirty cop in my car with me.
Bottom line: this guy being merit promoted has nothing to do with him being out of shape, or sleeping on the job. I know blue shirts, zero promotions, 27 years old and just as fat as me, sleeping on the job. So stop with the “merit” crying. You sound so blind with jealousy that you can’t see the problem: cops not doing what they’re supposed to do. Not eating right. Not sleeping enough. Not passing on the jet ski and the escalade and the pool and deck and the Harley so they don’t have to work 2 side jobs and then say “it’s because I have to pay catholic high school tuition for my kids.” Merit is a problem. Merit didn’t make this guy fat, or sleep on the job. So get over it already.
The morale of this department isn’t up to the bosses. It’s up to us, and how we treat each other, and ourselves. Put the blame where it lies. We have created this monster. Everyone on this “blue line” bullshit better start realizing it’s more than a stupid fucking decal on your car window, or your blue porch light, or your tattoo or your FOP medallion or hatbands on the mirror or stupid CPD t-shirt. We should act like professionals. Not high school football players trying to game the system and be treated differently than everyone.
Hopefully this sgt. will get the discipline he deserves. If he doesn’t, let’s not cry about it all day. It’s not within our control. Let’s control the things we can, starting with ourselves.

10% are house mice. That’s pretty good actually. There are days in the D units where there are more inside people than detectives working the streets and I’m sure they aren’t the only units staffed like that
On days in districts with commanders office, front office , CAPS, radio room, watch secretary, security, etc there are definately more po’s inside than on beat cars
Complaint is always we are so short of police, we have no beat cars. Well I wonder why and now we are seeing the house mice and administrative sgts are getting more OT than working police on a beat cars
Kind of like the homan square FI who works inside and makes 100,000 in OT and never goes to a crime scene. That’s on top of a take home car that has never seen a crime scene as well.

I'm a Sgt who is white. I used to work in 189 as a PO. I've worked with VA in the past and the present. He is a decent guy. Sorry to all the haters out there. Anyone can fall asleep on this job and especially on a long term investigation. This is bad but, I'm sure everyone on this job has never done anything wrong or dozed off for a minute or two. This is why the City of Shitcago wins everytime. We feed our own to the wolves just to make ourselves feel better for a minute or two. PATHETIC!!!!!!!!!!

Yes you are right on this. But, even you have to see what has happened in this department. Decades of political and racial clout, cronyism, nepotism, women taken into desk jobs at a huge scale, gold stars with girlfriends in their commands, uneven or non-existent discipline, phony merit promotions, no fairness in transfers to good units, and I could go on. All of this has caused the problem of blasting everyone and anyone for the slightest thing they doThere is discrimination in this job, the Hispanic discriminate against non-hispanics, blacks discriminate against non-blacks, white discriminate, the rot and corruption is everywhere and is all stems from the democratic party using the police department as its plaything. In the meantime the honest hard working cop comes to a point they just don't care.
Don’t worry Ron will save, if was Hispanic or white he they would have launched. There is about 4 people in Narcotics that are in a TIME OUT, and none of them are Hispanic or white, umm wonder why
———————————
You hit the nail on the head, but if you ask him, he is the least racist person on the job!
Leave him alone. I bet he was praying!!! Knew a Sgt that used that defense and it worked

For him at time and thought he was a good supervisor. Actually read all paper before signing off. Made sure job got done. Not sure the details about this incident nor do I. Are . My experience with him he was fair, kind, looked out for his officers , and did supervise and review all paperwork .

Good God the envy of every person who has gotten a merit promotion on this blog is ridiculous. We get it, merit isn’t right - unless it’s a partner you like, and then you say “he’s just not good at taking tests.” But every cop on here has fallen asleep on this job. It’s what juggling the job and family life does to everyone. It may happen more often to the side job whores who refuse to live within their means, but even someone who just works this job can get physically exhausted from the schedules and their conflict with when our natural sleep cycles are.

Thanks stupid, but throughout your whole epic post, you forgot to mention how much money the merit moron is making in o.t.! Holy fuck you sound like a liberal deflecting blame.

2/03/2018 01:40:00 PM
And brags about it on a regular basis
I do not know a damn thing about him, never met him, and never worked under him. So as far as his character goes, i got nothing. I think merit promotions are BS and should be eliminated but i would take one if offered (like the rest of you complaining about it).
But at one point in every ones career in the past or in the future, you will or have come in tired after either working a lot of OT or spending time with the family and your eyes get heavy and close for a bit. Not the safest thing to do without a partner and never a good idea, but it happens. That is life especially when you work late night shifts. Any of you that are going to slam another copper for shutting his eyes for a bit are being a bit hypocritical. That part of his saga is a non-issue and just seems to be added to make him look worse and to smear him. It is just a reminder of how quickly our "brothers" turn on their own.
"Now I lay me down to sleep. I pray the merit raise I get to keep. If someone gets shot before I wake. A nineteen-paul I'll surely take. God bless Rahm Emanuel, all the Chicago aldermen, and Fast Eddie and all the merit hacks. Amen."

And the bosses go along with it. They have to be signing the slips
Some actually get promoted even after this went on under their command
Ron K , double merit promote, then launched to Cmdr in less than 9 months.
The entire merit panel, resume, letters of recommendation, etc., is all a dog and pony show. The calls are in, everyone knows who put who in before the phoney "interview" and that goes up to the superintendent who gives all his buddies the nod, returning favors, etc.Then they don't reveal any scores, tier they place the nominee in, etc. that's how bad it is. Do they record the interviews? I don't think they do, but they record a portion of the written exam where you sit in a booth and answer a sheet of paper with questions. Why didn't the department reveal the nominated merit promotions with the first year of Lt ptomotions? At least Mc Carthy did the right thing with merit under his regime. Johnson didn't. Who's top ranking brother made merit that was hidden with those first groups of promotion ? How can someone be double and triple merit promoted who tests so poorly they can't be promoted on their own , but all of a sudden are leadership material ? Why aren't the "merit process scores that are "tabulated" revealed like the written test? The premise these people can't test well, but deserve a promotion. Those scores should be revealed, but they aren't. The merit process is a poorly executed "super-secret" way to get your girl friend, ex-girlfriend, niece, nephew, son, daughter, wife, husband a nice bump in pay and pension.It's just another race-norming, clout-ridden way to scam the taxpayer and to shitcan the morale on this department.
On the other side, material experts who have copies of the tests set up super-secret study groups with wives, fiancé, girlfriends, sons, daughters, members of the same minority police association, members of the same tact team, etc. who miraculously score beyond charts (compared to previous tests) and get their "legit" promotion.
This, among other notable deficiencies in this dept is why you see the CPD in the news. WAit until the new recruits are in a few years. The snowflakes who are scared of their own shadows, those who have been hired because of a severe lowering of standards, etc. there will be many more who are in command positions who claim Milwaukee is a state.
Don’t forget to take a look at the Lieutenant in Intellignece 191 and his boys. It’s been going on for years.

Wrong buddy. Our OT gets cut left and right. We also have Our days canceled all the time for all types of details that have numbers attached to them. He is the one guy who cuts our OT when he wants too as does the commander. You must be someone who is miserable. Go to narcotics because they get all the OT or will you complain about them too. Loser.
We don’t turn in dirty cops, because we don’t want to be a rat. But then we cry when the public and the news media calls us dirty pigs. Well guess what? We took an oath when we took this job. You’re not being a rat when you call out a dirty cop. I don’t want a dirty cop in my car with me.
2/03/2018 04:12:00 PM
**************************************************
Hey tubby, you want to know the reason I don't turn in dirty cops? Because I don't work with any. Because I don't see any. I don't work in any special units and work with everyday beat coppers and have never come across any. You make broad statements as if a dirty cop is a common thing that everyone comes across on a daily basis. I have worked in this city for almost 20 years and have never seen or was approached by any officer trying to do something dirty or get me involved in anything shady. And yes, I have done my fair share of being the "working po-lice". You might as well grab a protest sign and march with blm. GFYS with your open and blanketing assumption about dirty cops being such a wide spread and common problem. The extremely small % of cops that are actually dirty can GFTS as well. But the 99% of good cops deserve more support, especially from our own.
How does EEOC or OSHA laws even allow this much overtime- sounds like staffing is an issue
======
Governmental units are exempt from OSHA oversight.
Somebody that knows this assclown needs to keep us all updated as to what his penance is gonna be. I'm sure the person that snapped the photo has an ear to ear grin that some merit puke is gonna hopefully get it stuck deep in his ass
ALL of those units are a JOKE in that building!! They don't do anything at all and just take up space. ALL of those nitwits should be sent back to districts where the manpower is needed. The "work" that is done is harder eating than doing anything resembling police work! There is little or no work being done by any of those people , they drive around like big shots in their "covert" vehicles driving thru red lights... their COVERT cars you fools!! Don't burn them. But then again what would I know... been there done that when it was a real place to work and there were real police officers doing real police work not hair gels today playing Miami vice at the night clubs. ALL of those units should be disbanded and ONE citywide response unit should be created that's all that is needed.
Hey Sup, IG or whoever else reading this etc... take a look at unit 191 Intel while you’re investigating 189 Narcotics. Lots of shenanigans going on there. They brag about working 4-5 hour days and all the OT they make. Start with the Commander CK and LT. DD. Follow the paper trail. One Sgt. there is all about the OT. Wait till everyone in Homan has to swipe. The audit is coming to Homan boys and girls. Watch yourselves.

They just had a guy testify that his team was taught to carry replicas in case they got into a shooting. AND that same guy had a replica on him when arrested. The trainwreck in Baltimore started a very long time ago.
If city hall would reign in the OT scamming in secret units at Homan square and especially the Det. Division they could pay for all the VRI for the year.
Based on the comments he's seems like a decent guy. Seems like he may have issues with dogs. White or black. Good for him.

Merit or no merit make these Sgts work. Call for them over the radio for every decision that needs to be made. Have them show up on scene for any job that might present a problem. You have Sgts ducking and covering for each other.
2/03/2018 06:22:00 AM
I don't think you understand how it works. You'd have to have a complete pussy moron for a sergeant if he just jumps and responds to the scene every time your dumb ass asks for a sergeant. Part of your job is making decisions. You can ask a sergeant to come to your job, but if you don't have a valid reason, they can tell you to figure it out yourself. Sergeants aren't there for you to avoid doing your job. If you're afraid to make a decision, find a new job. If you need daddy to show up and hold your hand, find a new job. If you think calling for a sergeant over the radio means you're off the hook and daddy is coming to take over your job, you're dead wrong. Everyone hears you calling for a sergeant to make every little decision for you, and everyone sees you as an incompetent moron because of it. You won't hurt the sergeant by requesting him at your scene, but you damn sure could hurt yourself by constantly advertising the fact that you either can't or won't do your job. Good luck with your extremely well-thought-out plan. I'm sure you'll get the results you desire.
I am currently in the academy and will be picking my district next month. I don't plan on making any arrests or going to court. What district is recommended. How soon can I apply for merit sgt promotion? Thanks.
I guess long gone are the days were you would find a tired officer/Supervisor who closed their eyes for a moment and you would wake they up and tell them to go get some coffee or sugar, because their life or your life may just depend on them being alert! I'm sorry, but none of us are robots, this could have been any one of us, just remember, next time it could be you in this picture.
Time and a half for overtime is fine. If you sleep while on overtime you should only get paid straight time,
Kind of like the homan square FI who works inside and makes 100,000 in OT and never goes to a crime scene. That’s on top of a take home car that has never seen a crime scene as well.
Yup he is stealing the city blind and no one is gonna say shit about it. He runs the forensic unit. But you you talk to him he says he is so busy give me a break. Busy? Doing what trying to figure out where you are gonna order food to feed your belly!!! God I hate this department. We need a guy like trump to be superident to clean house!
He passed OUT due to sleep deprivation, because he has to work OT because CPD is under staffed. He’s now suing the department because the officer that took the photo failed to render aid or call an ambulance.
He wasn’t sleeping he was trying to get rid of a headache after being up for so many hours he took a personal.
They could have just outed him using the Snitch Hotline. We all got instructions of how to do it when we signed for our fucking tie bars.
Shouldn’t he be suspended for not wearing a bullet proof vest?
Hey swat thanks for fucking up our search warrant the other day.
You asshats screwed up our case.
We will never use you again. You guys suck.

--------------------------------------
Sorry, I disagree with you in regards to your sleeping on the job or dozing off comment. There are cops who have never fell asleep or dozed off on the job. Even being so overly tired from working investigations, when you know your brain is fried and you can't make one more decision. No, you don't put your head down to take a quick nap. Especially not in a vehicle parked on the street. Do you want to get shot, executed, robbed, beaten? That's just stupid, selfish and greedy. What you do is go home, take time due, and catch a few zzz's at home in your own bed. Otherwise you become a risk to yourself and your partners.
I hope you guys get rid of merits fucktards... good luck and I’m glad I quit...
Y'all need to stop. How's a man supposed to sleep with all these people talking bad about him making his ears ring?!
The whole department is a watered down version of what it once was
Do you actually think they care if they’re merit or not, or if you know. It’s always been the game, but what is disturbing is everyone naming units and names. You don’t think those asswipes aren’t laughing.

Hey man it's not that bad, you could be 720.
I wonder how many VRI hacks are commenting on this guy. Sitting in a car for 8hrs watching portable dvds or Netflix seems just as bad.
He is lucky to be a living. Some bad dude could have taken his life. This is thought in the academy and basic police work. He looks like a homeless guy. I get it he is a NICE guy! But he isn't the POLICE! Not while sleeping.
The real problem on this job is the SUPERVISORS! They believe they can do whatever they want. What could possibly be wrong with someone being able to give themselves overtime?
He got a case of the sugar. That is still all, move along nothing too see here . The future lieutenant and soon after that commander was dreaming about his girlfriend pinning his deputy chief star on him at his latest promotion.
Dyla Hata
At least he's not out robbing drug dealers.
Would it be possible to post an abbreviation key for all of the codes used here to describe people or things? I have plenty of time “OTJ” and have no clue “WTF” is being talked about here sometimes.
The abuse of overtime is why swiping in and out is coming. How will the Lt carry his favorites now
o just to be clear as a tax payer I see the 3 highest OT Sgt sleeping on the job. Sure hope it wasn't OT pay. Comments suggest that this was not first time unavailable for duty. 100k in overtime and he has the balls to sleep on the job. Would suggest that whoever signed off on his OT should be named and punished. Not his fault someone suggested job very stressful, hard to be stressed when your sleeping on someone else dime. This is payroll fraud and stealing. Forgot VA is a nice guy that smiles and says hello so excuse me for wanting my pound of flesh. Next time someone sticks a gun in your face and smiles and stealer your property just ignore it because smile says he's a nice guy. Call it what you want and I will call it what it is, theft. But this is Chicago and the Chicago Values will come into play so soon there will be another fat sleepy merit hack white shirt running the CPD. After all it's the Chicago Way. Keep the faith, someday things will change.

If there was oversight or any accountability there would not be the abuse of OT as discussed . Many heads would roll as it’s not looked at as stealing. But too often people don’t get it until the day comes and everyone is shocked when it does. Don’t be.
Well guys like this have killed the Golden OT Goose. You all got greedy and end result is a civilian called in to go over the books. As a taxpayer I say about time. Come on 100k in overtime? Then sleeping on the job. Must not be a shortage of officers as claimed since a Sgt has time for sleeping on the job. Guess things must be very quiet in his area hence tome to nap. No one needing supervision under his watch, ok to sleep then. So in effect with the this Sargent pay and the 100K in overtime the taxpayers are on the hook for over 200K including benefits for this guy to sleep on the job. So what happened when pic went upstairs, nothing. In fact this will probably insure a merit promotion to move him out of crosshairs. Clout is a wonderful thing. As a taxpayer I would fire him on the spot, or at the very least demote him that's what would happen in the private sector. Even the military has a better discipline system than the CPD, where everyone covers for everyone. Just another example of the Code of Silence that the CPD claims does not exist. Shame on all that condone this a acceptable behavior with no repercussions.
You know this is such bs and Reeks of a staged and planted post since no one signs f/2 or m/2 you idiot
Well, there were accusations he was racist and favored blacks. So the above post was signed off on by using m/2 or f/2 so that the reader would know that the opinion was coming from a white officer in 189 and that there was not any racist hatred coming from VA.God you are so simple .

VA is a nice guy, knowledgeable? Absolutely NOT! Nonetheless, if you can’t keep your eyes open during work, then stop doing so much OT. It’s a safety issue. Falling asleep could be happening during an uc buy etc. Enough with the excuses because someone is nice. Being Nice isn’t a shield for potentially getting hurt. Stop the nonsense.

Regardless if the mans a POS “RASIST” or not I don’t know him and don’t care, but the human body can only take so much before it shuts down, I speak from experience... there was a time some 10 years ago when I was working midnights and 12 hour shifts with a sick newborn at home I was barely able to get 3 hours of sleep a day, of which went on for about 3 years and eventually your body will shut down on you at some point & time. Maybe this was one of those times for him. I don’t know. If this is a regular thing that he does it’s very very wrong aswell as the obvious EXTREMELY DANGEROUS especially being the POLICE in this day & time. My point is you never know a persons situation until you walk in their shoes. He has to face the consiquentices! And the Band Plays On...

You got pretty defensive quick. You must be a sergeant.
If any of you know or are related too people that steal they usually are very pleasant to be around. They buy rounds of drinks treat to nice places and sometime give great gifts like motorcycles.
You see if they can get you to except token gifts like an extra hour of overtime or leave early on clock they got your number. The number is extremely low and they consider you a sucker while they steal thousand of dollars.
Protecting a merit is almost like baking cookies for the PEDOPHILE who lust for your kids. Nice job whoever sandbagged this clown.

Not defensive. No need to be. I was just pointing out the flaws in the "make the sergeant do everything" plan. But yes, I'm a sergeant, and I'm not coming to your job to handle it for you, unless you actually need a sergeant. Feel free to abuse anyone dumb enough to play your games, but it won't be me. You do your job and I'll do mine.
Merit or not. We just need better bosses who actually know how to do things and actually care about those teams or at least protect all POs
Who work etc.
Narcotics is a mess and are a main reason for this OT drama. They are not fully to blame but like everyone knows cops can’t be smart or keep quiet. I mean even bosses should know better and when to stay under the radar
Another embarrassing example as a supervisor, asleep, not wearing a vest, not supervising his team, let me count the ways, rule violation- bringing discredit upon the dept. , rule violation, inattention to duty, rule violation, impeding the chgo police dept.s goals and directives, shall we continue. its rigged, don't you guys get it, the po in eight took like 5 to 7 days for sleeping in a squad car. this poor excuse as a supervisor, we will see. rules are for the the regular guy, so are the cpd slogans, like earned not given, whats the latest lie slogan , integrity , respect, honor. Then bam , another elite unit filled with clout hcks and merit bosses robbing drug dealers. What the f---. I really wish the FBI would take over this joke of a dept.

I want to know who hires a man with out eyes? Were the answers to the Lieutenant's test provided to him in braille? As the top Phaseolus vulgaris would say, I 've got more questions than answers...

Who needs eyes? They hire men without brains or balls,then promote them.
He took a sergeant position from a police officer that studied, deserved the promotion . Example of the corrupt ,merit promotional system .
Look at Command Staff , most were Merit all the way .
Accountability, Commanders and above should go down .
If CPD can’t prove theft by reviewing cell phone ,email,credit card ,GPS Records , ISD should be disbanded , let COPA investigate theft ,false reports submitted on BS investigations.
"...good thing for merit..."
Using your thinking, the more unqualified, the better. Thanks for checking in Rahm.
