Captains-in-Waiting

So here's the list of people who got trained up for Captain:
  • * Clucas Jr, William E.
    Conroy, Patrick J.
    Dari, Samuel
    Deane, John B.
    * Doherty, Raymond M.
    Dolan, David S.
    * Ellison, Jacquelin F.
    English, Anthony B.
    Garrido III, John
    Hannigan, Kevin R.
    * Hoffmann, Jeffrey A.
    * Jerome, Don J.
    * Kaup Jr, Edwin J.
    Kilroy Jr, William A.
    Mack, Paul C.
    Mc Dermott, Sarah A.
    * Mc Farlane, Richard M.
    * Mc Mahon, Terrence G.
    Melean, Frederick R.
    * Milmine, Keith A.
    * Moss, Susan E.
    * Mostek, Carlos M.
    Mullane, William E.
    O Malley, Patrick K.
    * Olson, Eric R.
    * Petrenko, Joseph G.
    Rios, Juan A.
    * Robinson, Roderick D.
    Sesso, Jacquelin M.
    Wu, David C.
The individuals with an asterisk made Captain, and this list isn't even 18 months old.

But some people are going to claim since captain is so-called "Senior Executive Service" there's no guarantee of promotion, regardless of past practice of using all the individuals on the list.

We present Exhibit #1 - The Class Photo:


Why take a class picture if there was no intent to promote?

And to those who might think we're taking the side of the captains-in-waiting, rest assured there are some real morons on this list, both promoted and waiting-to-be-promoted. But you do realize who is going to be on the new list, right at the top? We'd be more than happy to see that list delayed until a new political administration was in place.

That's so they can put a red circle around your face
if someday you go sideways, buy a white van, then
pepper it with political stickers.
That's what CNN calls background, as in what did he
do before he became totally unhinged.
Rahm has been on a search & destroy mission for pics
of him spending quality summers on Fire Island back
in the day.
Rahm needs a new job and he fears the National Enquirer
will dig up something more provocative than an old wedding dress.

like actually learning something worthwhile?
like actually being qualified to make decisions,
lead others, give orders and advice?
I really hope these guys are qualified and not
just some slugs that got participation trophies
from a bowling supply outlet.

conspiracy formed, who back stabbed who, which
ones went higher via merit, clout, bribery, or real

It's been an absolute shit show ever since they created the make believe captain rank. Multiple merit incompetent morons, criminals, degenerates and shameless sycophant kiss asses. Then they all fight and claw past each other trying to get the gold star pension before they have to bail out to avoid prosecution. It’s bad enough that great men and women who actually pass the promotional exams are robbed of the opportunity to advance while they pad every promotion with these insufferable golems. Then these dolts are set loose in the real world with their spurious resumes further denigrating the reputation of our department.

The Dept is going to fall back on the part of the Captain SES order that says something to the effect of going to training does not guarantee promotion. They can sue for past practice but that’s a difficult case to win when there is a written directive covering said practice. Past practice cases a rarely won and when they are is when a “past practice” takes place of the LACK of a written directive. Almost never does a past practice trump the written word. It’s like trying to overturn a written contract with a verbal contract. What the city may do to avoid an injunction on the new list is to take the remaining 16 and put them directly into the pool to be made and top off the pool with the ones they want to make. Since there is no rank order in the pool they can promote as they see fit and as long as the 16 are still eligible they have no lawsuit.

Yes, under Uncle Terry, they eliminated the promotion test for captain and instituted a political appointment system that is based on clout, politics and racial preference. But, even though this is an exempt appointment, it is not exempt for captains belong to a union and if they are demoted they can grieve this and demand a hearing.

I can tell by the look on his face that this was all a dog and pony show. Even Jerome worked under Conroy. That is one Lieutenant that has put his time in, he has 10 or more years. Correct me if I'm wrong. I'm still rooting for you Pat as many of that are still or served in the 25th.

So in my 24 years on the job and spending many days at 26th and Cal, "night-narcotics", "sound impound court", 11th and State...I've only seen the following my entire career:
Jerome
Kaup
McMahon
Moss
Olsen
Rios
and the one standing to Jerome's left.

If you saw Moss believe me it's because she was helping transport a female prisoner. Seriously, she was a lockup keeper as a blue shirt, then the promotions rolled in. Get some glasses.

Paul Vallas On Merit Promotion

In regards to the questions on my position related to Merit Promotions please consider the following.

RESPONSE

The high percentages of merit promotions in the contract are a BIG morale killer as these promotions are for the most part devoid of real substantive criteria and are perceived as being largely political. There is no specific criteria for selection other than having passed the multiple choice “basic job knowledge” section (Part 1) of any promotional exam.

As Mayor, I will immediately instruct the Superintendent to limit merit promotions to no more than 20% of all open positions while exploring a further reduction with the union leadership. Drivers for exempt members, secretaries and non-field personnel would not be eligible to receive a merit nomination. Additionally, civilian exempt members would not be allowed a merit nomination selection.

Individuals selected for a merit promotion should come from the field. This means recruiting Officers from the field ranks of distinguished sworn personnel. This will be much like the military granting a Battlefield Officers Commission.

A Possible Model

What follows are my “initial thoughts” on what a superior Merit Promotion Policy might comprise. This would be a possible “starting point” for discussing criteria for Merit Promotions.

Patrol District Commanders, Detective Division Commanders, Bureau of Organized Crime Commanders would be eligible to nominate candidates for Merit Promotions as would Deputy Chiefs of Patrol, the Detective Division and Bureau of Organized Crime.
Nominations would only be made by the field Commanders and Deputy Chiefs. The Commanders could nominate a maximum two candidates and the Deputy Chiefs could nominate 1 candidate, although additional nominees could come from those Commanders with a larger number of personnel.
Civilian Directors and Assistant Directors etc., WOULD NOT be allowed to make nominations. Non field personnel and Police in administrative positions, WOULD NOT be eligible for Merit promotions. Merit Promotions should be for Police WORKING THE STREET, PERIOD!
The Merit Review Board would be comprised of the Chiefs from the three Bureau’s Patrol, Detective and Organized Crime Division. The Chairman of the Board would be the 1st Deputy Supt. The Superintendent would make the final decision on who will receive Merit Promotions.
Anyone serving on the Merit Review Board, as well as the Superintendent, would be ineligible from making nominations.

I always wondered if it ever bothered him that highly competent, well qualified lieutenants were cast aside and eliminated from any chance of ever being a captain for the sole reason that they were not in favor with a corrupt city administration.

Hillard doesn't care. He sleeps just fine. Per court order, before they came up with meritorious, they jumped over people to make him a sergeant and a lieutenant. Marine hero, yes. But above benefitting from being given a leg up, no. Making scads of dough in the private sector, fuck yeah. He knows how to play the game for his own benefit and really doesn't care unless it is coming out of his pocket.

Whatever their faults I've never seen them fuck over another copper. Especially Conroy who was the Lt in 025 for over ten years. Sad to say but in this shitty police department that means a lot. You could do far worse then having them as a boss.

Looks like a lot of people are upset they are not smart enough to get a merit promotion. Keep stressing out about other people’s good fortune and you’ll die early

Looks like a lot of people are set on trying to ensure the corrupt merit system continues to thrive. No stress here, but absolutely no respect either. If you didn’t earn it, don’t expect us to respect it.

In case u didn’t know it a lot of people who “earned” it off the test didn’t really earn it. There is no way to know who earned it and who didn’t
