Looks like the very Obama waste of space building will have something inside of it because we all know he has nothing to put in it, as Berry did absolutely nothing for the United States of America;

Obama Foundation makes unique library deal for Obama Presidential Center
https://chicago.suntimes.com/columnists/obama-presidential-center-to-include-chicago-public-library-branch/

Excerpt:WASHINGTON – The Obama Foundation and the City of Chicago signed a tentative rent-free deal for a Chicago Public Library branch to be in the Obama Presidential Center in Jackson Park, officials told the Chicago Sun-Times on Tuesday.

So we are involved and spending many many millions of dollars to build this eyesore that will be nothing more than a Chicago public library, but then again this is being done so some people actually go to it. This building will cause traffic to be more of a nightmare, will cause the sacred Parkland to be destroyed will be nothing more than a waste of space, jobs were going to the connected that pay off The elected!

Word on the street says that Ryan is getting bumped up after declaring war on the south and west side scum car hackers last time on the gold coast. He has proven his merit since having work the mean streets of the gold coast since 2006, even though I've never seen him at any roll calls. Maybe he was detailed to the Cardinals house.

How many city clerk Anna's employees have been to prison? How many in that office that needs to be abolished as it duplicates work done by revenue:

Couple accused of scamming Social Security, CPS, couldn’t keep story straight
https://chicago.suntimes.com/news/couple-accused-of-scamming-social-security-cps-couldnt-keep-story-straight/

The woman and her husband told the feds they had it all wrong. Margaret Marcello may have helped out from time to time, they allegedly insisted. But it was really Richard Marcello — a city clerk employee — who had worked for years for OK Travel Agency near 63rd and Menard.

Maybe since this guy worked for the clerk,could he talk about what is also going on there to help the feds look into the corruption still prevalent there?

He also mentioned eliminating 1400 spots through attrition to balance budget was wrong. We need to pay attention here he may be our horse.

Is it just that time of year for promotions, or are these Officers such stellar performers they have earned their promotions?
I don't begrudge any Officer an earned promotion, but handing out promotions (and pay raises) just for the sake of doing it is not part of any solution.
Personally I hope every Officer has worked, studied, and earned a well deserved promotion and commiserate pay hike.

As criminal Hillary rahms mentor would say "what difference does it make?" Until rahm is gone which would be a great start clearance rate will still be extremely low, the mayor with his democratic cohorts pander to the criminal elements,and will sell their souls, turn on family to get reelection campaign won! Only hope is Vallas at least he comes out pro-police unlike all the rest of the swamp folks/peoples!

Everyone hired from at least 2015 is to be promoted to detective minus the pay increase. The city hopes to raise the clearance rate to 90% by March next year.

That's the spirit! You didn't get promoted, so everyone who did must have cheated or kissed the right ass to make it. In your mind, not one promotion is actually earned. Or are you saying that those who legitimately earned their promotions deserve no respect because the rest of them cheated or kissed ass or were born to the right family to get their promotions? Guess who sounds irrelevant and pathetic, pal? It's better to be the smartest monkey in the zoo than the one sitting in the corner throwing shit. If you're half as miserable in real life as you sound on here, please find a different job. Actively choosing to remain in a job that you hate, making yourself miserable, and undoubtedly being less than a joy to work with, is not the secret to a happy life. Get out there and find a job where you're appreciated for your efforts and your unique talents, like complaining, shit-throwing, and being smarter than everyone else. Maybe the circus is hiring.

You’re going to need at least 5 ISRs a month after you graduate from the academy for a merit promotion. If you want to be fast tracked show a little initiative and do 1-2 ISRs a week while off duty in the academy. You’ll get noticed and maybe even a mention at COMSTAT.

Yeah Vallas can say anything he wants and we don’t know what he’ll do if elected. At least he’s say the right things. We know where Rahm stands. It’s pretty hard to call Vallas a liar when Rahm has depleted officers, closed stations severely reducing manpower in the combined districts, closed two Area Detective Division and took away retiree health care “with the stroke of a pen.” Not to mention pushed the ACLU agreement and is pushing this whole consent decree bs. He clearly is not a friend to the police.

So yeah, we should take note of what Vallas is saying. Or you could stick your head in the sand and hope everything gets better.

80 dics to summer mobile?! That can’t be true but I’ll believe it when I see it they’ve done a lot of dumb shit but that would take the cake. This place is a joke. Any questions about the clearance rate, refer them to the personnel order if that ever actually comes out. Sorry, your case is going nowhere because your assigned detective is babysitting hypes on a corner within a 2 block VRI box....but can’t actually stop them from doing what they do because that’s racist....any real reporters troll this blog....that would be your silver bullet right there.

They lie like little rats to their own family’s by feeding them horse shit about how their “hard work and knowledge” got them promoted. Not the fact that they either cheated their brains out or had a phone call to get merit. If it were any other police dept in the world, promotions might be taken seriously. Not in Chicago. Anyways, enjoy your life sentence in hell losers.

Over half his career was on the desk in 011, and pouting on the blog nightly.

Mysteriously stops posting around the time he get a spot FOP. Then gets shit canned from FLOP, and into two quasi promotions, what a coincidence!

I am new to second city and I have my home interview next week. My investigator informed me that I should start the academy by the end of June maybe July at latest. My question is how soon can I make merrit sgt. It seems that the city promotes many officers this way and that seems the way to go in my opinion.

That's the spirit! You didn't get promoted, so everyone who did must have cheated or kissed the right ass to make it. In your mind, not one promotion is actually earned. Or are you saying that those who legitimately earned their promotions deserve no respect because the rest of them cheated or kissed ass or were born to the right family to get their promotions? Guess who sounds irrelevant and pathetic, pal? It's better to be the smartest monkey in the zoo than the one sitting in the corner throwing shit. If you're half as miserable in real life as you sound on here, please find a different job. Actively choosing to remain in a job that you hate, making yourself miserable, and undoubtedly being less than a joy to work with, is not the secret to a happy life. Get out there and find a job where you're appreciated for your efforts and your unique talents, like complaining, shit-throwing, and being smarter than everyone else. Maybe the circus is hiring.

Years back a good friend of mine was a boss who asked me to join him as his admin guy working at headquarters to watch his back due to building politics. Well before I did I took the Sergeants exam and passed placing in a decent spot. After working for him a few years my number came up and I got promoted. Well the rumours that I got made by merit were hilarious. Many guys defended me and I actually showed one jerk that I made it off list. Moral of the story is merit should be by ability, work history etc. But we all know that is not the way it works. I know plenty of merit picks who are, were, good supervisors, dicks, etc.

5/02/2018 09:24:00 PM

You could've at least tried a little harder not to sound like the person who made the post I responded to. We already know you're miserable and jealous. No need to try so hard again. Why exactly would you think I'm butthurt about the promotional process that got me promoted? You're the one who's butthurt and bitching about it. I got promoted because of my legitimately earned score, without cheating, without merit, and without paying for some study group. Some people are just smarter than you. You should learn to accept it. As for the job taking over my entire being, causing alcoholism, domestic violence, and an early death, I don't give two shits about "the job." I'm not climbing any ladder, or sticking around for 40 years. I'm happy with my current rank, and I'll be retired before they have a chance to promote me again. Domestic violence and alcoholism don't just randomly happen to people. From the tone of your posts, I'd guess you're already a bit older than I am, due to your extreme saltiness and anger at not being promoted. I'll be collecting pension checks long after you're gone. This isn't good for your heart, old-timer. Learn to accept that you'll never be promoted. You'll be happier. Do you honestly think anyone reads your posts and thinks you're anything but a miserable, jealous loser? No one deserves a promotion? No one legitimately scored well enough on the test to be promoted? And now for the question that means the most in discussions like this with the jealous crybabies: If you are so much better than everyone who got promoted, throughout your entire career, why haven't you been promoted? Surely you know more than us. Surely you could score higher than a bunch of monkeys. The process is so "unfair" and "rigged" that you couldn't overcome the obstacles in your way, right? If anyone scored higher than you, they cheated, right? Or you were working so hard all the time that you couldn't study, right? But you'd make a great supervisor, with your shitty attitude and ridiculous belief that you're better than everyone else who gets promoted, right? You sound like someone who wasn't smart enough, so you relied on merit, but got passed over for someone else, and now the whole process is a joke. If you got that merit spot you were hoping for, you'd be talking about how merit gets the right people promoted when they just don't test well. You don't test well because you're not as smart as you think you are. Since you act like a child, perhaps you could read Aesop's fable for children about the fox and the grapes. It's short, so even you can find the time to read it. If you struggle with the meaning and how it applies here, feel free to respond to me again so I can explain it to you. I am the smartest monkey after all.

Hope your right. But may I point out its easy for the challenger to criticize the current mayor. Then when he gets elected things change when he has to balance the budget. He complains about everything Rahm does is wrong
Question is he said leaving the retirees with no insurance was wrong, but did he say he would bring it back and pay the 55% city share. No he didn’t He also mentioned eliminating the 1400 spots was wrong. Did he say he was bring the spots back?

Yeah Vallas can say anything he wants and we don’t know what he’ll do if elected. At least he’s say the right things. We know where Rahm stands. It’s pretty hard to call Vallas a liar when Rahm has depleted officers, closed stations severely reducing manpower in the combined districts, closed two Area Detective Division and took away retiree health care “with the stroke of a pen.” Not to mention pushed the ACLU agreement and is pushing this whole consent decree bs. He clearly is not a friend to the police.

So yeah, we should take note of what Vallas is saying. Or you could stick your head in the sand and hope everything gets better.

non-sworn managers to be hired for each district to handle administrative functions.

Greatly reduced hours at some facilities.

bike unit gets beefed up with first choice going to those who would otherwise go back to patrol. those volunteering for the bike unit will have to pass physical fitness test so they don't have a cardiac on duty.

I completely agree with the former commentary. Any asshole who really thinks that they "earned" a promotion in the department where "scores" are held secret for months, nepotism is ubiquitous, cheaters brag openly, and testing preparation companies charge thousands for the inside track is a real fucking asshole. Stick your promotion where the sun doesn't shine.

It just dawned on me why don’t we send all the merit, cheaters and clout coppers to homan square and leave all the legit guys in the districts. We don’t want the merit’s even for a year. They just fuck everything up insist on the best spots and watches then leave in a year for a unit anyways. Lots cut to the chase and send them all to homan and let them fight amongst themselves. Districts will run much smoother without the 10 year wonder merit Sgt thinking they deserve days because “they have kids.” Etc etc etc. Districts will be by seniority and everyone will know where they stand.

You are right about that. Some of the. Merits bosses were great po’s and sgts. Not all are bad. It appears to be changing in the last few years. The good and deserving merits aren’t getting picked. And I know there are feelings that there should be no merits, but as long as it’s in the contract, the deserving should be given merit

Ok, so what is a good promotion process? Obviously according to everyone no one can make it on merit because they are good cops that their bosses think will be good enough to lead their troops, they must have been someone’s kid or kissed ass. Obviously no body can score high enough on the test with out having cheated. So what is a good promotional process? How does the rest of the world do it since we suck so bad?

Don’t get me wrong I know that a lot of merit picks are BS and they got taken care of because of who they are. Well guess what. Welcome to earth. Nepotism happens in every profession in every country in the world! Some of the best and worst bosses Ive had in almost 20 years on the job merit. On the other hand a lot of radio room or other inside officers ace the test with all he study time they have when they aren’t busy. Not a stab at inside officers because a lot of them work really hard doing shit a lot of us would never want to do. But some don’t and have plenty of time to study.

Alot of officers who know the job inside and out spend a lot of their time chasing calls all day or night long or are in tact or in a unit hunting all night long for arrests or ISR’s while when they are off duty going to court and have 2,3 or 4 kids they have to take to Baseball, Football, Gymnastics, Cub Scouts etc. that really don’t have a lot of time to study.

I honestly don’t know what the right thing to do is. Some of the worst supervisors I’ve had were made because of test scores.

It’s funny that in the multiple choice section a lot of officers scored a lot higher than people who out scored them in the scenarios, is that a tell tale sign of better job knowledge, a lack of studying in the second part, or some people having an inside tip on what to say?

The previous canine list required people to score in the top 50% to move on to the next segment. Then you got rated, funny how in years past the entire list was exhausted before they redid the test, yet they scrapped that list after only highering a few.

I say the top 50 percent on the multiple choice move on to the next portion, then on scenarios portion only take the top 50% ranking them based on their answers, job experiences, etc, that is only 25% of the original test takers moving on. Don’t give out recommended study material ahead of time, we are all responsible for knowing GO’ s and the law. Not knowing them can get us fired, sued, or locked up! It will be up to the officers to research areas they are week in. Then make the rankings and promote the entire list in order. Only announcing the next test after 75% of the promotions have been made.

Waiting and waiting and waiting to see if you get it sucks and causes undue stress, frustration, and a lack of morale.

Here is the kicker! You should have to have 4 years on to test for D2 and 5 to get promoted. And 9 years on for Sgt, 10 to get promoted, after that 2 years in grade to test 3 to be promoted. And you should have to make Captain before getting promoted to Commander. Commander on up should be by appointment.

That’s just my opinion and to all the grammar police fuck off I did my best with a 2 in box on my phone while having a few pops.

Wow, absolute nonsense. Merit scam has been going on for decades, it doesn’t take a brain surgeon to figure out that it is statistically impossible for the offspring of former commanders happen to make rank “merit” at the rate they do along with special study group members, significant others, friends and family of connected, etc.
The reason the rest of us question all of it has nothing to do with ego, the entire process is tainted, by virtue of the blatant political nature of the current process. I have to question those who want to keep the current status quo, along with those who continue to support it. If there was a fair process that gave everyone the same opportunity, then there wouldn’t be so much controversy. You can continue to try to defend it with the ‘haters” nonsense but the reality is reality. I would love to see some of my fellow officers, who are competent and actually do police work, get made. Unfortunately most of them get passed over. Please explain to us haters how anyone, can justify double and triple merit? Ridiculous!
