Sergeant Promotions
List out, late Friday:
And how many of the "merit" nominations came from Patrol, the so-called "backbone" of the Department, as stated by Special Ed and so many other bosses? Three out of fifteen. [corrected]
What are the rules for nominations again? Because we see all sorts of bosses nominating people who aren't under their commands and one boss with nominees from two different units. And how many commanders does Unit 606 have?

Good Riddance, JB from 008 made sergeant!! The whiniest fucking cop/human being I’ve ever met in my life!!!! Good luck to which ever district has to deal with this crybaby.
The most pathetic hack promotion in this batch is Ernie “Urkel” Cato making his A4 ex-partner/squeeze, DV a merit Sergeant! How in the fuck is that even legal? Did they figure no one would notice??? No. It’s that arrogant entitlement that permeates and destroys the morale of this department.
Decisions were made in Rick's American Cafe in Casablanca
Promotions in the CPD are a circus side show
compared to D.C. politics, but the shitheads have
to start somewhere. Trophy time. Worst part is
the dumb fuck assholes who really believe they
deserve the promotion. Those are the future
management material.
APPARENTLY the merit apple does not fall far from the tree... Terry Hillards kid, seriously?
TV from 606 will be a good supervisor. That’s about the only good pick I see. TG from 001, really. LOL. He’s a goof. I remember the trouble he caused in 007 when he was on Tact. I guess his brother who was a commander made sure he got taken care of.
Some good people on this list. Others, not so good.
Congrats to John Knezevich on the Sgt promotion. Merit or not, he deserved it.
The more i see this, the more of a joke i see that this department is ! I'm not even a disgruntled copper because I'm not on the list, i didn't have enough time on to take the last test. I'm just annoyed at how this merit system is used ! I get it some guys are bad test takers and maybe a few deserve the bump up, i know a few merit guys who aren't half bad, but when our own supe says more promotions out of patrol and then most merit picks come from phone call units then my confidence gets severly rattled, i mean WTF ??? Its not what you know but who you know ! Wonder if Bobby Lopez bailed his guy out yet ?
It's priceless how a new merit promotee immediately receives two merit picks. Only in Shitcago, Crook County, Illannoys. Real Ass Hole Mayor's continued city values.
I’ve had the pleasure of working with TG and TV and I have got to say they are by far some of the most deserving picks I’ve seen in a long time!
Patrol is the asshole of the department, not the backbone.
The amount of clout one has is displayed by how little time they spend in patrol wearing a blue or white shirt.
Let's all stop pretending.
No new test till late 2019. List will be up another two years. They should get to 600 if I had to guess.
How many more will be promoted by the end of this year?
Who gives a shit? I’m riding this one out for two more years, then bye bye Shitcago. Continue to promote whatever dumb dumbs ya want. Doesn’t effect me. Smell ya later.
Everyone complains about units getting the “merit” nod........And I know, it sucks. There’s always “merits” that don’t deserve it.
But it HAS on occasion happened where someone deserving gets the bump- simply from hard work and making a good name.
If you realize that’s the path to making it- how about doing something to get yourself to a unit instead of just crying about it.
Maybe work your way to a team in a unit.
You can’t expect anyone to want you on a team, or throw a promotion your way, if all you know how to do is ride every paper job as long as possible and avoid anything that looks like work. Cops love to cry about how things aren’t fair, but never try to do themselves any favors along the way.
Staying fetal is a sound philosophy, but it will never get your name out there as someone who is a good worker.
Who cares when is the next k9 test?
Erin Murphy in a white shirt is scary
Hmm Hilliard a Sgt .I wonder who daddy called?
Get rid of Merit! Throwing Hillard in our face is a slap in (da) face , the da is for the new recruits!
Merit picking the merit! This place gets me sick! I wouldn't follow one of the gold stars any where.
I'm not sure why anyone even works anymore.
EM hahahaha!!!!! If you ever get into anything you better hope you have another Sgt working that day. Sure she made a ton of arrests but none ever ended with a finding of pc. That must be the criteria for merit, clean up the streets one bag of coke from a drunk mexican at a time!
Seriously...a director ( civilian) can nominate you for sgt.?..This a director of information services- has absolutely no time on the streets. Why dont you just let COPA promote the sgt’s they want put in—that way at least you’ll know when the shit hits the fan....you know who to blame!!!
Lots of good people, past and present, from 006 who made it on their own. Good work. However, Eric White...your going to make the perfect [merit] sergeant.
Funny, if the system were honest, legal, and
upright you could save a bundle on black markers.
What is done in darkness shall be seen in the daylight.
Evil, thy name is merit
If the guys are so hot to get up this way,
let them wear the scarlet letter "M"
Mister Roger's wouldn't have it any other way
Somewhere Gumby is weeping
We played by the rules then got used as tools
And the ranks were unlawfully filled with fools
Shit rose to the top, The Machine it prevailed
With one parachute honesty suited up and bailed
Looks like going to get coffee for Maris’ wife paid off for TF. He’s a tool.
Too bad the system can't be changed with a
social media barrage like people did to save
Brooklyn Nine-Nine
Same bullshit. Nothing will ever change in this department or city. It was always be corrupt! Did you expect anything less SCC?
We traced the leak and it leads directly back to Rahm.
Late Friday release, Saturday pickup.
Rahm kicks back and tunes into SCC.
1. List published: check
2. Zero comments (peasants getting fired up): check
3. Early comments released sometime after 12 Noon:
(taking a nap and letting nature take its course): check
4. Late Sunday: all sentiments released. Advisors pick
through comments---the trial balloon---and write up a
summary report for the Boss.
------
Where have we seen this before?
Wash. Rinse. Repeat.
Patrol is the asshole of the Department.
Law enforcement is the perineum of career choices.
Get off the street if you have any sense.
What is the contractual number for merit?
It seems this list is heavy on merit.
Congratulations to all who made it and their families. If merit is 30% for Sgt. What % is merit for detectives?
I must say.. it’s some damn good merit picks on this list. Who cares whether or not they are from patrol. Some good officers don’t remain in patrol. They move along. I personally know some who work their a**es off now and when they were in patrol. Congratulations to the new sergeants! Don’t let these crusty haters get to you.
I’m happy to see that he didn’t pick the ones who worked on the inside their entire career, then ran on the outside for two periods just to justify a merit promotion.
When / Why did we (FOP) give meritorious promotions to the city? This sucks
The way this department is run, WTF does it matter if you have someone picked for a promotion who a may or may not be a dick bag Vs someone who may have studied more and scored well on a test who may or may not be a dick bag?? The bar to be a supervisor on CPD is pretty low. Period. Medical abusers, lazy-asses, tramps, nerds who can cite ever changing Genera Orders that only apply to non-connected people, physically out of shape to wrestle with a their own pillows.
Finley??? Are you kidding me???? He was a solid officer when he was on the street. A real hard worker and a great guy to have working with and for you. His arrest history is at the top of the curve. Not your typical merit pick. I just can’t believe he’d want the job as sergeant. He will be a good guy to work for. I just hope the reality of what patrol has turned into doesn’t affect his great personality. Hopefully he lands in a good spot. But, seeing where he was smart enough to be the last few years, I’m betting he’ll be set up pretty good. Good luck Tim. Glad you made it.
So I work for a boss in patrol and he nominates someone in a unit? Oh yea I’m gonna produce for him.
If you have to ask how this system works , then your not part of it.
Congrats to O. Lopez(not a merit), been a pleasure working with you. The rest of you merits.... 🖕
I would love to read all their letters of recommendation
welcome to rahms sanctuary city........
This is your typical CPD BS merit system which will never die ask the DILLON sisters thanks to moms cousin (Riccio) they will always be taken care of (Given not earned). Nepotism, favoritism and politics will prevail in study groups such as LAPA, secret study group including the LIE-tenants group and B***iK group that miraculously got up to 8 candidate rank in the top 25. No study group in history is that good without the answers. LAPA, NOBLE, PAPA and others all cheat the same way especially caucasians now everyone cheats for numerous generation of police. LIFE ISN’T FAIR and neither is the CPD PROMOTIONAL. System when no one is held accountable , when BUBBLEHEAD’s wife is allowed to cheat her way without reprecussion and the Inspector General can’t tell the difference between his ass and a hole in the ground.
As always, the actual hard working individuals who truly deserve the merit promotion never make the list. We all know those few coppers who for some reason still care and work despite all the department bullshit. They are always willing to help out on late DUI crash arrests. Always there helping the young FTO's. Those coppers are the true leaders but they are never promoted in this fraudulent promotional system. If not for the blog, this fraud would go on unnoticed.
Signed,
Don't hesitate, NAME the assholes who stole a promotion.
The former superintendent is Terry Hillard, not Terry Hilliard.
Gorman is an honorable person and wouldn't surprise me if he turned it down. He wont want to continue his career as a "merit hack" to those who don't know him. His brother was one of the best bosses on this job.
Hilliard IS NOT related to Hillard, you morons.

First, If you ever get into anything it’s all on video now, so calling any Sgt to try to clean up some mess you might have made are days gone by my friend.
Secondly, if any cop is still out there making proactive arrests of any kind, I’ve got to give them some credit. Most people just respond to their jobs and arrest only when they absolutely have to. This guy is actually going out of his way to make arrests and put himself out there. That’s at least better than somebody’s girlfriend/ex-partner/supt son getting nominated for doing nothing.
Lastly, I don’t know this EM but can u list your qualifications that would make you so much more deserving than him?
E.M from 009???
Seriously??
Wow.... what a joke.
I just sent some of the female bosses a Happy Mothers Day E-mail - maybe I will get merit.
Congrats to all merit bumps, just keep in mind that your sponsors will continue to wet their beaks, now go out there and execute those search warrants...
Way to go Big Joe Mirus!!!
Which one of those deputy chief nominators also sat on the Merit Board who did the interviewing? Did they recuse themselves out of the interview process so their buddies can give the highest score to their nominee ? It’s all legit.
Erin Murphy is a complete joke. She has a lot of growing up to do. I’ve worked on the same watch and seen how she creates drama her own little group of friends as though she were in junior high school.
merit picking merit.
Hopefully he lands in a good spot. But, seeing where he was smart enough to be the last few years, I’m betting he’ll be set up pretty good. Good luck Tim. Glad you made it.
He made it MERIT so #1 he wasn't smart enough to make it by score #2 he got a promotion by MERIT......so he already got his "set up" pretty nicely seeing as his pay will go up by taking another person's tested spot. Merit will be what he and others will always be MERIT. MERIT'S should get the last of any choice of district. Not fair?? Well neither is STEALING a spot from someone who studied and ranked much better than MOST MERIT PICKS. So please stop with the he so smart, good cop, hope he gets taken care of....blah blah blah. Lets be honest the dept is in the poaition its in because of MERIT PEOPLE.
Merit picks should walk around with a branded M on their forehead. Given, not earned
What is the contractual number for merit?
It seems this list is heavy on merit.
**************************************************************
Wow! You must have no time on the job. Well, if you were to get up off your lazy soft and scared ass you will know that sergeant's promotions are capped at 30% and everything else is 20%.
Merit doesn't mean ANYTHING except you are a kiss-ass! It means you are connected! It means your too stupid to do well enough to be in the top 10%! Being merit is a disgrace! Granted you'd be a freaking idiot to pass up merit IF someone gave it to you but that NEVER EVER happens. No one ever SURPRISES you with merit.
Merit should be for 10 people TOTAL so that it means something. Merit IS the real police corruption! But no one gives a shit anymore.....
SUCKERS!!!!!! Keep working hard and bring in the "numbers"
13 1/2 more years and I'm fucking done :)
Titanic passenger list
Oh so lucky
-APPARENTLY the merit apple does not fall far from the tree... Terry Hillards kid, seriously?
Read the name again. You may notice the spelling is different.
Hilliard that was promoted to sgt. IS NOT related to the former "superintendent",different spelling,so don't get your panties in a bunch....hahahaha, now go back in the basement and get your mother her flowers for mother's day....
We're in contract negations right now, correct? End this disgrace
Pretty sure it’s a different Hiliard, before all the freak outs

Good point. And im just a guy pushing a beat car.

Cabral’s a shitty pick. Dumped from Tact goes to days, on a mission team, and now picked as merit. Fucking up must be a requirement. Guy is dumb as a rock.
The Hilliard that is on the list is white and was an fto in 4. No relation to terry he’s a great guy and hard worker and I’m sure he’ll make a great boss.

Hey, kudos to her. In this day and age she was still coming in with a head or two a night. I mean really, who else from 009 should get a nod for merit?? Tac teams all have less than 6 years on the job and they high five each other for suspended DL arrests. The watch does ABSOLUTLY ZERO and they aren’t gonna pick an inside house mouse. I’m all for t. Everyone complains when a merit pick is a do nothing and ten you get a worker and still complain. Call it what it is, you don’t like her or you don’t like merit. As a supervisor if I have an officer brining in a felony head a night I’m ecstatic.. learn to play the game hotshot, at check off a little dime bag of coke is the same thing as getting a kilo.. it’s a check in the felony arrest box. let that sink in.. sometimes she a little tuff to get along with by you can’t deny the fact that post Laquan McDonald and in the body cam age she still works every day. It’s rare.
Geisbush... one of the most annoying bitter mutts on this job. Good luck to the watch that gets this corpse as a Sgt.
RIP Gregory A Hauser # 14680 and Raymond C Kilroy # 14686
End of watch 13 May 1990 025
Congrats to Hilliard, great guy, and definitely not terry’s kid btw.
I made sgt a number of years ago. It’s funny how most of the merit picks for sgt. landed in nice spots when their year was up. Some if not most went back to their old units.
Funny how that happens.
Patrol has never been the backbone of the police department. It's actually a few inches lower on the anatomy.
Tom Vargas- good pick. This man knows the game and personally reached out and set up an offender turn in with the offenders lawyer, saving a would be tactical meathead from ventilating the fool and costing himself the job and everyone the headache of getting their days off cancelled due to the next SJW protest. Can’t say enough good things about this guy. Say what you want about the system, but don’t talk bad about this guy. He is good police through and through. -Dave, 610. You made it real easy for me, Tom.
Hey 5/13/2018 01:45:00 AM, thanks for the laugh! You were kidding, right? If not, you are one dumb fuck.
Matt Hilliard from 004 is related to former Supt Hillard?
Is he his illegitimate white child with a differently spelled name?
Scandalous !
Terry Hillard. Notice the spelling is no relation to Hilliard notice the spelling that was merit promoted.

If he was a solid officer and a hard worker and arrest history was good, it’s good he made it. Don’t really care for merit, but if someone is going to get made, it’s a guy like him. Don’t worry, if you come from 127 and are made meritoriously, you have the wack to land in a good spot. Probably already determined, do your 6 months in a district, spot is waiting

They don’t have to work on the outside to justify the promotion. That’s never stopped any promotion. The bosses both can’t and don’t have to justify the promotions, they just do it and could care less

Dumm dum I heard that this Hilliard in a white kid....
Jimmy Loughney from 006 congrats!, great guy, working copper and intelligent. Wherever he lands they’ll be getting a good one.

There were many bosses who were great guys and not a dick bag as you state. However in reality some of those "great guys" were not good bosses. I want a boss that is fair, handles pressure calmly and has my back. Many of those "great guys" failed under pressure, were only considered great guys to their select few and if the going got tough did not have your back! That being said I do agree with some of the other things you said here.
No wondering why the tac team in 015 full of kids just of status, having one of their new sgt as a boss would be a fucking nightmare
Hete's a question for the new sergeant's about the police vehicles that had their windows smash on Lower Wacker Drive during the recognition ceremony. Is that one RD # and several event #'s or one event # with several RD #'s?
they call that system "regulation greens" in D.C.
K Street defends their system because it's used elsewhere
Congratulations to all that earned their promotions. Fortunately, because of our lack of manpower none of them are from 017, we are getting 10 bid openings! We have several that will make detective, 2 going to summer mobile, at least 3 are bidding out, at least 4 or 5 retirements over the next 4 months, including 2 Sgts, they're taking apps for bike unit where PO's leave and the net result looks like maybe a loss of 3 for the summer! Roll call keeps getting less and less bodies. I wonder if we're down to 150 for the district yet...
01:09am. Thinking the same thing.
Patrol is the asshole of the Department.
Law enforcement is the perineum of career choices.
Get off the street if you have any sense.
When did you figure this one out?
JG from 008 congrats buddy . Make sure this guy has a Tahoe and everything he needs for his tours, he is a huge crybaby about all things .
And we should work hard why?
Erin Murphy a supervisor, Oh no. What a goofball!

APPARENTLY you have trouble reading. HILLARD and HILLIARD are different names. Terry Hillard probably doesn't have any kids with the last name Hilliard.

Murphy did make lots of arrest, some were good but most of them were petty but in her mind she felt entitled. She would start at 2230 hours and then check off with the early start. To make matters worse she always cut in front of the line at the radio room because she wanted to leave early.
Guysbush from 008 is a good guy. Yes, he whines but you would too if you have 8 jobs. He's real on the street and hopefully won't change once he wears the white shirt. Congrats and good luck, you didn't bend over for anybody and know it's all bullshit.
20% for detective
Congratulations to all who made it and their families. If merit is 30% for Sgt. What % is merit for detectives?
5/13/2018 05:48:00 AM

Hilliard, HOLY SHIT, this department is really fucking doomed !!!! I had the pleasure of reading some of his paper. LOL. A real masterpiece.. LOL. Everyone was passing it around laughing so I’m certain that 100’s of guys seen it. Truly one of the biggest morons on the job.
Please someone tell me how you get a merit pick as commander less then two months ago and you're given 2 picks. Who the F*#k is this Tirado clown who needs a GPS to get to his south side Dist from the northside. Please someone give me Terry Hillards # and maybe he can hook me up 2. WTF

OT: With the Officer Van Dyke trial ominously approaching would Michigan Ave actually be a target if their is a not guilty verdict? I can't think of anything more embarrassing or damaging to this city to see Michigan Ave. stores being looted and burned on national television.
3 time merit pick and has only been Commander from 04 for maybe 3 months Jose Tirado, nominates a former superintendents son and a guy form a unit he never worked with and they get made?? What a joke!!!
Hey dipshits, the FTO Hillard is of no relationship to the former superintendent. If you ever get to meet him, you’ll see why. As he is several shades lighter than Supt. Hillard. So calm down.
12:40 am.....Hate to burst your hateful bubble, but that is not Terry Hillard’s son, the name is not even spelled the same!
I know everyone here is going to trash people but I'd just like to say Pablo congrats buddy ! Great officer and even better all around guy...
APPARENTLY the merit apple does not fall far from the tree... Terry Hillards kid, seriously?
Must suck to have the same last name as a former boss and not be related.....get your facts right.
I thinks its time for the Union to organize a protest at the graduation ceromomy and at police headquarters. We all carry signs MERIT=CORRUPTION, enough is enough, the latest scandal from 010, the Lts. Exam, all are leadership except for two exempts are
SPINELESS MERIT THIEVES...
If the city had a real media, they would be all over this. Just on this merit list, look at the sgts pension compared to a police officers..these bastards are going to make more money now and in retirement. Stop this bullshit now...and any one who gives a nickel to the Police Memorial until Cline who started this bs is removed is a fool. 150 in pension, 120 thous and a Ford Explorer, as Memorial Director.
At least they made Sergeants first instead of dics first then people drop out of that class when they make Sgt a week later.
What about the other promotions they promised?
Reading is a skill that many have not mastered on this thread. That is not Terry Hillard’s son. Look at the last name idiots: Hilliard.
he most pathetic hack promotion in this batch is Ernie “Urkel” Cato making his A4 ex-partner/squeeze, DV a merit Sergeant! How in the fuck is that even legal? Did they figure no one would notice??? No. It’s that arrogant entitlement that permeates and destroys the morale of this department.
Absolutely correct. The bosses willl wonder why we don't have any respect for them. Here is one of the very best reasons. DV never worked for Cato ever. So how did he know that she was worthy? Fact is a few bosses had to sign off on this.
Maybe work your way to a team in a unit.
You can’t expect anyone to want you on a team, or throw a promotion your way, if all you know how to do is ride every paper job as long as possible and avoid anything that looks like work. Cops love to cry about how things aren’t fair, but never try to do themselves any favors along the way.
Staying fetal is a sound philosophy, but it will never get your name out there as someone who is a good worker.
————————————————
The problem with your rationale is that a lot of people make it to units on phone calls who have no business being there. And a lot of far better coppers never get the chance. Then the guys from the unit make merit, again not based on ability and claim they deserve it because they were in a unit. And before you say I’m just bitter I got promoted off the list and there were merit guys from units in my class who should have been embarrassed to call themselves the police.
I’d go through a door with any of these fine people.
Good people all.
Congrats bosses!
E (I ain't wearing no damn bodycam) M is gonna be a supervisor? Good luck whatever district is lucky enough to get her.

Have you ever read her narratives? Her shit always says the same thing, she doesn’t write pc tickets, she’s too good for that, story is always the same, magically she sees drugs in plain sight all the time, shit flew 15 years ago, maybe but you had to change it up a bit. Somebody should’ve stepped in and told her to stop sandbagging people, she made Gerome look like super star on midnights so why mess with somebody producing for you even if some arrest were simply illegal. She was even exempt for some time from wearing body camera, old squad car with malfunctioning in car camera, things that would slow her down. There was a very good nominee from tact team that could’ve been 100 times better than her. Last one: she won’t be able to work with her girlfriend now that she’s going to be a supervisor.
Hete's a question for the new sergeant's about the police vehicles that had their windows smash on Lower Wacker Drive during the recognition ceremony. Is that one RD # and several event #'s or one event # with several RD #'s?
5/13/2018 10:43:00 AM
Here's*
sergeants*
smashed*
ceremony:*
One event and one RD. How many minutes do you have on the job?
Cabral’s a shitty pick. Dumped from Tact goes to days, on a mission team, and now picked as merit. Fucking up must be a requirement. Guy is dumb as a rock.
5/13/2018 09:32:00 AM
Dude is a total moron.
One event number with multiple RD's. Stop playin
Some merit picks deserve it based on work ethic, what they have done yet we all know most merit picks are favors and BS
Marvin Coleman is a good guy but not sergeant worthy. It’s good to know people.

he most pathetic hack promotion in this batch is Ernie “Urkel” Cato making his A4 ex-partner/squeeze, DV a merit Sergeant! How in the fuck is that even legal? Did they figure no one would notice??? No. It’s that arrogant entitlement that permeates and destroys the morale of this department.
Absolutely correct. The bosses willl wonder why we don't have any respect for them. Here is one of the very best reasons. DV never worked for Cato ever. So how did he know that she was worthy? Fact is a few bosses had to sign off on this.
Have you ever heard of you approve mine and sign off on it and I will do the same for yours? There are no rules, no requirements or qualifications No requirements that the candidate has to have worked for you or you at least know them there aren’t. They can and do as they please with merit
When a member get an award on the CPD there is always an explanation of the worthy event explaining why the award was earned, but not on merit. Why isn’t that information given and made public and the department members given access to these reasons someone is promoted meritoriously. You would think the CPD would be proud to tout there accomplishments
Why are the instructors at the academy teaching the newbies that the old times don’t know shit? Us old timers will teach you how not to get in trouble

Don’t worry about the newbies. Many don’t want to be the police, aren’t capable of being the police and came on only for the salary and benefits. They have no intention of doing any police work that will get them in trouble

Hey dipshits, the FTO Hillard is of no relationship to the former superintendent. If you ever get to meet him, you’ll see why. As he is several shades lighter than Supt. Hillard. So calm down.

And I'm sure all of those who are complaining about this guy being the former superintendent's son are several shades lighter as well.

Hate to tell ya, but the way to not get into trouble back in the day is exactly what gets you in trouble these days... also. “I don’t recall” no longer works and just gets you into more trouble these day” and 19 Paul solves all is just stupid and just gets you into trouble also. “Creative writing” to keep yourself out of trouble is dead and gone. You are ou of touch and NOTHING about police work these days resembles anything you did. The play stupid routine and they can’t pin anything on you routine is dead. Do that and you’re fired. Go somewhere and go fishing.
Congratulations, Jason from A/N.

I’m sure the “ Letter of Justification” got EC’s ex partner made Sgt. That’s just one of the scams used to get family, friends and cronies promoted. The “merit” system is a fraud.
Leave my buddy JG from 008 alone he is tall so he needs a tahoe plus he has 7 jobs so he is tired most times! but all in all he will be a good Sgt. so stop hating he made it on score...but on another note EM from 009 scares me how the hell do these guys make decisions on who they are promoting? this gal been pandering for a merit spot forever failed the sgt. and dics test miserably...hopefully she doesn't get anybody jammed up
Some of you clowns are goofy as hell. Matt Hillard is not related in anyway shape or form to Terry. I know this cause I worked with him and his a good officer.
JS Orange Crush nominees got shot down!
Hey merit hacks. How does it feel to be hated? How does it feel to take a spot away from someone who scored good enough but has to wait because you have to get the spot first? How does it feel to make a guy have to sit for months now and play the waiting game again and lose out on seniority because they have to wait for another lost... jus because your “someone’s guy/gal”. No need to worry or study, you will get taken care of. Meanwhile the poor sap who knows nobody but was able to score sectnrt has to wait another class. Best of luck. Merit sgts are the worst. Now, you gotta go to the districts and prove how good you are by pushing guys to get you numbers because we all know now your gonna go and take up tac teams. Merit. It’s the worst.

This is your typical CPD BS merit system which will never die ask the DILLON sisters thanks to moms cousin (Riccio) they will always be taken care of (Given not earned). Nepotism, favoritism and politics will prevail in study groups such as LAPA, secret study group including the LIE-tenants group and B***iK group that miraculously got up to 8 candidate rank in the top 25. No study group in history is that good without the answers. LAPA, NOBLE, PAPA and others all cheat the same way especially caucasians now everyone cheats for numerous generation of police. LIFE ISN’T FAIR and neither is the CPD PROMOTIONAL. System when no one is held accountable , when BUBBLEHEAD’s wife is allowed to cheat her way without reprecussion and the Inspector General can’t tell the difference between his ass and a hole in the ground.

Don't forget Jan's bf coat-tailing on to females who can get him his bump.
Kevin Ryan and Randy Darlin. No humility. Two merit hack bosses who worked in Gangs for years while stepping over and using guys working for them in order to get further promoted get merit picks. Ryan chooses the goofball Gorman, related to a former boss, who made the news for writing hysterically fictitious case reports and subsequently got dumped from the 007th District Tact Team. Darlin chooses EM who looks homeless in her uniform, leans on the rail at the bench while testifying at preliminary hearings, and has stickers on her gun and holster. Merit should only be used to promote once and merit bosses should NEVER get picks.

Finley??? Are you kidding me???? He was a solid officer when he was on the street. A real hard worker and a great guy to have working with and for you. His arrest history is at the top of the curve. Not your typical merit pick. I just can’t believe he’d want the job as sergeant. He will be a good guy to work for. I just hope the reality of what patrol has turned into doesn’t affect his great personality. Hopefully he lands in a good spot. But, seeing where he was smart enough to be the last few years, I’m betting he’ll be set up pretty good. Good luck Tim. Glad you made it.
5/13/2018 06:52:00 AM
If he was a solid officer and a hard worker and arrest history was good, it’s good he made it. Don’t really care for merit, but if someone is going to get made, it’s a guy like him. Don’t worry, if you come from 127 and are made meritoriously, you have the wack to land in a good spot. Probably already determined, do your 6 months in a district, spot is waiting
5/13/2018 10:03:00 AM
You kidding me? He’s been working inside for at least 7 years now, worked the street for maybe 5 years give or take. If you’re going to promote someone off of arrest history and hard work then there are 100s more qualified with more time on the street. So yes he is your typical merit pick.
9:37am.....yes bringing in a felony everyday in this bodycam age we live in is great......too bad she doesn't wear hers or its not turned on. Coincidence????
Hey, kudos to her. In this day and age she was still coming in with a head or two a night. I mean really, who else from 009 should get a nod for merit?? Tac teams all have less than 6 years on the job and they high five each other for suspended DL arrests. The watch does ABSOLUTLY ZERO and they aren’t gonna pick an inside house mouse. I’m all for t. Everyone complains when a merit pick is a do nothing and ten you get a worker and still complain. Call it what it is, you don’t like her or you don’t like merit. As a supervisor if I have an officer brining in a felony head a night I’m ecstatic.. learn to play the game hotshot, at check off a little dime bag of coke is the same thing as getting a kilo.. it’s a check in the felony arrest box. let that sink in.. sometimes she a little tuff to get along with by you can’t deny the fact that post Laquan McDonald and in the body cam age she still works every day. It’s rare.
Cause it takes the skill of a supervisor to stop a paisa in the alley in the middle of the night a find a bag of coke. Also a dime bag of coke is a class 4 felony whereas a kilo is a class 1 felony with no less than 10 years in prison, a supervisor should know that.
So, let me ask this question. If you were given a merit spot, would you not take it? I would take it in a heartbeat! Regardless of what you whiny motherf@“&$ers would say! Stop being so jealous.
Nothing is real.........

And, what happens when that dime bag of coke goes to court............
Finley, ector, Cabral, murphy, geisbush, valasquez. what I’m going to tell all of you is very important. If any of you get any of these people as your Sgt on a watch RUN away. Do not trust them to keep you safe on this job or to make a well informed decision. Scary people getting promoted these days.

Sergeant's training is a few weeks longer than Lt or detective's. The department wants them to all graduate together, probably with a new class of recruits, so the public thinks we just got a ton of new hires (smoke and mirror bullshit). Plus, the academy is busrting at the seams with recruits. They'll probably send the detectives to DeVry, like they did the last class of sergeants.
JG from 008 who were a dog almost everywhere you went and was a pain in the ass to the supervisors who you worked under. Now that your a Sgt. please don’t think the game is real now and get on non productive officers like yourself. Time will tell. SM

You are right on the money with Kevin Ryan. He’ll go down as the biggest jag off any of us have ever worked under. But Randy Darlin has positively never been meritoriously promoted besides Captain and Commander. Darlin was in the first classes off the tests in Detective, Sgt and Lt. If there were tests for captain and commander, darlin would’ve ask been in the first classes off the tests. Super intelligent guy and incredible copper. Thiis forces one to ask why the hell would he give his merit pick to E.M. Either Darlin was absolutely forced to give her the spot or she switched teams and Darlin is using the head of his that actually has hair on or around it.

Good copper on mids for years.Bright kid will make a good sgt.Made good pinches in 010 never asked for shit from bosses.Very humble and laid back.
Um for the sgt question about the broken windshields at the ceremony, how much time do you have on the job? On the street it’s a different rd # for each car . In a private lot it’s one rd # for all the cars damaged. So how many years do you have on the job kid?
Erin Murphy was awful as Joanie in Happy Days, Hillards son that is now a white Sgt. is a disgrace....wait, nevermind. Pan/Pam....I think I can help you with that.
I'm not the commenter from 12:40, but I'd happily call him a goof to his face. What's he gonna do? I'll take that payday if you're suggesting he'd be such a pussy that he'd start a fight over being called a goof. Battery arrest, lawsuit, fired. Grow up, and tell TG to grow up if he actually thinks like you. Sounds like he'll make a great supervisor. Do the mom's basement comments ever get old for you? If you or your boyfriend can't handle being called a goof, or any other name, you shouldn't be the police... GOOF!
Some of the people who made it through the test are train wrecks waiting to happen. The whole promotion process is flawed. I tell you, Id rather have a merit picked who worked the streets than a house mouse that only took a squad car out when they went on food runs.
Terry Hillary's daughter, Terri, was promoted already, I'm an earlier class.
congrats Pablo you will do fine
This reminds me if a certain female from 011 who was 90 percent of time late for roll and half of the time her shirt was undone. Never did anything resembling police work, came in with basically zero arrests. As if that was even possible in 011, where you can literally walk out and make an arrest on any block. Yes she eventually made sergeant. I knew before that incident that this department was a complete joke, but when she made sergeant, that was the icecing on the cake.
And no I'm not jealous or a hatter.

By goof, you mean he actually has a sense of humor? A goof is a keyboard warrior that can contain their jealousy and assaults another copper’s character anonymously. It’s also pretty humorous that you think you don’t deserve a slap in the mouth for calling another man a pussy to his face and you’re calling other people basement dwellers but you’re the one who would run to mommy if somebody actually called you on your bullshit face-to-face.
