Special Ed's Special Math

Remember when Mr. Fenner promised that a majority of "merit" promotions would come from Patrol seeing as how Patrol was the "backbone" of the Department?

Special Ed lied....again:
  • 3 "merit" lieutenants - 2 from units, 1 from a  District 
  • 30 "merit" sergeants - 19 from units, 11 from Districts (6 were FTO's)
  • 25 "merit" detectives - 12 from units, 13 from Districts
And one of the Detectives from the District was detailed FROM a unit, so even that razor-thin majority is actually not a majority at all.

Without a doubt, the worst superintendent in Department history.

I’m so tired of the “district vs unit” argument.

I’ve worked in both.
There are great cops in both, there are great dogs in both.

In my mind, the difference is simply seen as a skil set.
Everyone in a unit has the skill set to work a district.
Everyone in a district does not have the skill set to work in a unit.
Doesn’t necessarily make a good predictor of a good Sgt, but it shows a willingness to not be complacent, to change your surroundings, and learn new skills.
If you’ve worked in Gang Intel, you’ve worked closely with the detectives on various cases, and understand how the investigative process goes. Same thing with Narcotics, you have likely put together operations and such. You understand things at a different level than scratching out a few reports and going home.

And there’s nothing wrong with staying in a district your whole career, many great cops do.
It just always cracks me up when district cops complain about early ducks and merit promotions, and then point the finger and laugh as units get their days off cancelled and sent to shitty details, and say it’s their own fault for being in a unit. In a district you want the perks of the unit HGS, but you just don’t want to make the sacrifices. Typical coppers, want everything for free.
If you want to be treated like a unit guy, then here’s an idea- GO TO A UNIT!

Welll, you have to admire the special category for promoting FTO to higher ranks- it’s like an expressway for rewarding the chosen. Let’s open up the work history of these super star FTOs- how long have the held the rank, how many recruits did they have?
FTO s should be solid ethical hardworking officers who do get training/promotion perks—-but first let’s see proof the ones on this list are more than inside boot kickers who were coached to take a short term FTO gig as a way to advance

That one lieutenant from a district hasn't actually been in that district in years. Some kind of permanent detail while still assigned to the district. So, 3 merit, all from units. I assume there are others on those lists "assigned" to a district, who don't actually work in the district.

Honestly though even I see it’s tough to justify going heavy in patrol these days. I work in the district and nobody does ANYTHING!!! Why make someone who does zero, and is proud of doing zero merit?? I don’t agree that inside unit people or 35th street people get merit but it’s had not to give it to people who are still on the streets making arrests, doing wires, buys and warrants etc. even now a big arrest for a tactem is a suspended license. 5 years ago I say you have a legitimate beef. Now it’s hard to make someone merit who is “fetal”.

Let’s slow down now ‘unit’ guy. Special skill set? Did you mean kissing ass? Some of these unit people possess no more a special skill set than perhaps being able to fetch lunch, keeping their mouth shut when they witness corruption or just looking good from the back. Don’t compare them to Liam Neeson. I agreed that there are both good cops and shitty cops in every district and unit of the CPD but then you went off on your merit justification rant and we all know the truth about merit is that the vast majority are made because of clout. Maybe that’s the special skill set?

I think you are missing the point. You can't just "go to a Unit". You need a sponsor to get there, which in turn means you have some sort of HQ/Exempt connection. Usually those officers, somewhere down the road, get the bump.

Days with 3 years on the job but on the sheets for afternoons or midnites. Mysteriously detailed to days when the first period starts. Lock up a bunch of 12 year olds fighting in the schools for a few years and that qualifies for a merit promotion. Then you get nestled somewhere on "days" until your next magical promotion so you can fuck up some more. All the while getting that furlo "adjustment" from your handler because you really hate that 1a/2a stuff. 7a and 13b are much nicer.

Mr Fenner is not the worst superintendent. But, he is a perfect example of a boss that completely surrendered to the mayor. He sold his soul to gain a few crumbs and is taking care of his family and close friends. Every move he is allowed to make benefits his friends. I was shocked that he sent out a email to address the issue over making notification when ever a officer displays his weapon. Even Mr Fenner realizes the major impact this will have on officer safety.

If by skill set you mean knee pads, brown nosing, and a Chinaman on speed dial, you are right, some don’t possess those skills to work in a unit. But those working in a district possess something those in a unit do not possess, integrity.

The only thing Special Aid is counting is his days left to a six figure pension and a side gig at the KimmFxxx County Fair.

Many good officers been held over because of 20/30% Merits.
It’s not by no means fair and square.
What makes one Merit from anywhere more deserving than the next in line on a Qualified List?

Who knows when the next List will come out.
What about how lucky is the last name on that Rank Order List?
The next name unknown, wonders how long it will be until before getting to the top of the next List - if at all.

Everyone, most everyone gets their start in Patrol.
After the Probation period, everybody knows of someone in their class going over to a Unit.
It’s not as easy as just “going to a Unit”.
Nothing changed since 1929.
Its not what you know, it’s who you know.
You have to a friend in the factory (unit) to get an interview.
You have to be on terms with the CO or their upper.
The CO can say ok, but HQ always has a cousin.
Even tact was an invitation only at one time.

This is likely Special Ed’s last chance to level the field for all those who carried his water or maybe just one more.
Don’t that a chance...
Go out and get more arrests, traffic and street stops, ISR’s, any plenty of chases...that’s what gets you noticed.

Skill set? Lmao!!! A unit is not a skill set. First, there ISN'T a test or exam to take to enter. Second, cbs for under 15 grams of weed and arresting foid careers in vehicles are not a skill set. Stopping joe riding a bike on the side walk is not a skill set. Breaking the wrong door in a search warrant and making the news is not a skill set. Giving hundreds of movers to working class tax payers on lsd and calling yourself a "worker" is not a skills set. Long forming tvbs is not a skill set. Wearing hat backwards with skinny ripped jeans and growing facial hair while chewing red neck tobacco is not a skill set.
Finally, disregarding probable cause or reasonable articulable suspicion is not a skill set. 6-10 years ago units were units. Today, they mirror patrol in every way, except units do not have discretion or say on days off and basically don't have lives. All in all, units are not skilled. They simply focus one part of patrol.

I’ll tell you why superstar because everyone in units like Gang Intel and Narcotics (amongst others) are there by phone call.... and don’t give me the “I just applied” BS. Some of them do/did work and they are great at what they do but 80% of them do not work, never did, and they are too heavy to be dumped back to patrol so they get shuffled around OCD to leach on to others. If you’re in patrol and trying to get out on hard work, good luck. You’ll get the “sorry but it’s hard to take people from Patrol right now, we gonna have to hold off a bit.” . Meanwhile that spot you are going for is being filled by another bosses son, girlfriend, nephew....

I’d take Jodi in a heart beat , he should run for mayor
I will settle for Paul Vallas

Again, no one should be an FTO with less than 5 years on the job! It's the blind leading the blind. We have a couple of them that are dumber than a box of rocks and just as hardheaded when you try and steer then in the right direction. I'm to the point now where I just say, "Fuck it. They can go to prison or get sued."

—————————————————

Way to earn that white shirt money there oh great leader! Let them get sued or go to jail! I am guidance! I am smart! I get paid even if I am not guiding! You are the very reason coppers with over 5 years don’t become FTOs. It’s better to work with a partner you trust when the department is full of people like you. Not to mention overall safer, more efficient, and easier to work with someone who has experience.

I’m so tired of the “district vs unit” argument.

I’ve worked in both.
There are great cops in both, there are great dogs in both.

In my mind, the difference is simply seen as a skil set.
Everyone in a unit has the skill set to work a district.
Everyone in a district does not have the skill set to work in a unit.
Doesn’t necessarily make a good predictor of a good Sgt, but it shows a willingness to not be complacent, to change your surroundings, and learn new skills.
If you’ve worked in Gang Intel, you’ve worked closely with the detectives on various cases, and understand how the investigative process goes. Same thing with Narcotics, you have likely put together operations and such. You understand things at a different level than scratching out a few reports and going home.

And there’s nothing wrong with staying in a district your whole career, many great cops do.
It just always cracks me up when district cops complain about early ducks and merit promotions, and then point the finger and laugh as units get their days off cancelled and sent to shitty details, and say it’s their own fault for being in a unit. In a district you want the perks of the unit HGS, but you just don’t want to make the sacrifices. Typical coppers, want everything for free.
If you want to be treated like a unit guy, then here’s an idea- GO TO A UNIT!

My years of experience has only lead me to believe that unless you have clout you will never make it to a unit that everyone wants to get too. You are just like all the other gifted people who get to go were they want because you have the clout. Preach your bullshit some where else and you can get up off your knees you merit hack

I know that the Superintendent is just a figurehead that the Mayor tells what to do. Now, I'm really getting the impression that Rham has really just let Ed do whatever he wants when it comes to promotions. Yes SCC, he is the worst of all time. If Weiss hadn't of done what he did to Cozzi he would be remembered better. Any regime that has idiots like Escamerit and the Camel Rider in supervisory roles are worse then the Weiss era.

Yeah he was a coward, and what he did to that poor guy in 025 was it reprehensible, he still outperformed the garbage we have had since his tenure.

Agree 100%. He was not perfect but light years ahead of the other goofs. I wouldn't mind him making a return.

This is exactly what i am talking about when it comes to merit promotions. Lets talk about the 10th District Commander. Here you have a Commander who has been in charge of the 10th district going on two years and yet he can not find a single guy or gal to nominate. This Commander walks around with his face in his phone and thinks he is better than everyone else around him. Commander Sanchez surrounds himself with yes people. Take for example his tact Lt. who I believe is that Barz who while working in IAD could not find any wrong doing with the Lt. cheating scandal. POOF he is a merit Lt. What a fantasy world that is , but that is for another thread. The 10th district commander nominated and was successfully able to make promotion's happen on this most recent list for a detective,Sgt & Lt. All 3 of these individuals were from unit 193. This is the unit that he was previously assigned as a LT.. What I find interesting is that all 3 of the promotions were given to Hispanic officers from outside his unit of command. Another interesting point about the 10th district Commanders merit picks is that they had not worked for the then Lt.in over two years, and furthermore the Commander of Gang Investigations who was also the 10th District Commanders boss did not see fit to nominate these officers from his own unit. These 3 officers worked for the commander of Gang Investigations for many years, but he did not see fit to nominate any of them. Does anyone think that is a coincidence ? I don't! This is a prime example of what is broken with the merit process. This commander nominated and was able to push through friends of his that were Hispanic. I find it hard to believe that out of 200-250 officers who work in the 10th district day in and day out who do their jobs with the utmost care and integrity, there is not a single one that is worthy of a nod from this commander for either detective or Sgt.merit promotion. That is also not to mention the hard working Sgt's that work there too. What a slap in the face to everyone that works in the 10th district. I feel that this Commander owes each and everyone of the officers an explanation why he thinks none of them are worth a chance at a merit promotion. I also feel that the commander should share his to/from that he wrote to the Superintendent stating the reasons why these individuals who are not in his command are worthy of his nominations for each detective,Sgt & Lt.. I feel that the officers in the 10th district are owed an explanation from both this commander and the superintendent.

Everyone that works on the Police Department understands the system, it might not be the most fair,the most legit or even the most effective way to operate, but its what we have . This blatant display of racism and cronyism displayed by this commander can not be overlooked by the powers that be. The hard working officers of the 10th district are owed an explanation. Officers , this Commander had to write a to/from to the Superintendent stating why he is nominating officers outside his unit. The Commander of 10 had to justify his actions. As a young police officer working in the 10th district, ask yourselves... why am I risking my life , career, and freedom for supervisors who do not appreciate the hard work and effort you put forth. This is why the merit system should be changed. This Commander, by HIS ACTIONS is a prime example of what is eroding the integrity of the department. This Commander should no longer be allowed to nominate officers outside of his command. This is another example of people being promoted way beyond their abilities. Say what you want about my criticism, but the facts don't lie. Shame on you Commander Sanchez , you are not part of the solution...YOU ARE THE PROBLEM. Be safe everyone and God Bless

People seem to forget that the commander from 10 was merit pick to detective, Sgt. Lt. He was such a great cop he deserved not 1, not 2 but 3 bites of the merit apple. This is the major problem with the merit system, no one should get more then 1 merit bump. It should be 1 and done.

For the record, Weis was indeed the WORST. Thin skinned, stupid and a real POS. I never heard any FBI agents who knew him that had anything good to say about him. As far as the Glocks are concerned, S & W's are just as good, and I'll even go as far as to say that Sigs are the best handgun you can carry today.
