Biggane,never worked a day in the field...unreal
Maureen Biggane? Seriously?
She’s been hidden in nice spots at HQ forever.
What a joke.
Eddie gone and Staples in. Bank on it.
Good luck 016, Biggane has NEVER been the police. When she was a P/O in 009 her big thing was to write a couple of parkers. She would tell her partners straight out that she doesn't make arrests, chase cars, foot pursuits, etc. Then she made Sgt with a few years on and has been in nice units ever since. Keep that in mind when see comes to roll call and says she wants activity.
The D-Unit can use more changes.
Maureen Biggane really? She hasn’t seen the streets in over 20 years. SMH!
Wow Moss gone after only 9 months as commander of 017? Strange. Lots of front office mice will be heading to the watch finally. There’s standing room only in there.
More bullshit. Lt MB was supt cline's admin sgt and miraculously was number one on lt list back then. About two months before the promotions were announced cline moves her out of his office to vice unit to make it look like there is no collusion. Fkg bullshit. And they all sleep well, don't they?
whitey bulger of the irish boston mob was murdered this week in prison as Robert deniro said in the movie goodfellows " nobody likes a rat"
A bit off subject: Bottom Feeder Bobby Rush crying about Target closing there store in Chatham calling the decision unconscionable, and morally criminal of them . Well shit for brains a friend of mine worked security at this store that has getting robbed blind for years by shop lifters you know your folks, your people Bobby ! He was surprised the store stayed open for as long as it had with all the lost that they incurred! You see Bobby you can't stay in business if you can't turn a profit its called simple economics. It's not being a Chicago democratic politician Bobby !
Escamerit to be made supreme ruler of 025 and emperor of the new community policing catastrophe coming soon. A new 4th watch will be created to support the program which is like a sick hybrid of TRU and CAPS.
Will Barney Rubble be gone?
Congratulations to all , good people in general .
Biggane. Ha ha. The way of the future. Don’t do anything, get promoted.
Biggane ?????????????? OMG
O.T.
Reading about the Sgt. Elkins debacle, I noticed the media and the victim's attorney kept mentioning how Sweet Baby had over 30 C.R.'s accumulated during his career. While I'm glad he is getting dragged over the coals, some of you older hard chargers that racked up numerous complaints during your tenures while playing the dope game better be careful. Don't get into any bar fights, or drink and drive. Take Uber. This isn't the old days either where bars had a lot of cash in hand and were prone to stick-ups. Leave your guns at home when you go drinking. You are far more likely to get in trouble with your weapon while intoxicated then you are of stopping some criminal.
McDermott good guy happy to see Ronnie donothing go. No loss
the biggane family.....my god talk about nepotism.
enough already. none of them have spent anytime in a district let alone done anything even remotely close to police work to reveive such promotions. .....
remember it's all LEGIT
did valadez pass any promotional exams ?
When is the Asians turn?!!! Racist MFers.
Black, white, hispanic, clout has no color unless incompetence has a color. It may go through trends but ultimately it’s all just clout.
M.B. is good.
Will there be a tag-a-long House Mouse List posted?
Yep, being sworn in at 1400 hrs right after Detectives.
MB sounds familiar. Her name rings a bell. Hmmmmmm I can't put a finger on where I remember her from, or who she associated with. My anheizers disease must be getting worse.
Ha, all the mopes who left 012 to follow Moss now stuck with the little Napoleon. Hurry 017 Ronnie loves to see his name on the marquee!
This isn't black,white, orange or purple it's just clout nothing to do with race plain and simple CLOUT!
Can we have a resume of these five officers respective career felony arrest activities and the length and location of street service in district patrol units?
Backstabber Biggane, a case study in meritorious incompetence.
Congratulations to MB , BM , SM & RP .
Wow a new gold star that actually deserves it. Congrats Cmdr McD!

Cline, Maurer, Kennedy are in the pedigree. Evoke any memories?
Everyone complains about Eddie's promotions or NOBLE'S promotions, rightfully so. But most of Cline's promotions were just as bad if not worse than what's going on now. Now Phil is getting rich off the CPMF, a NON FOR PROFIT which he did not even start.
Chicago clout. What police work has she done to deserve a command spot. Other than family clout
Assigned to the Bureau of Organized Crime
Detailed to the Office of the First Deputy Superintendent
Promoted to Commander
So much for any workers.
What a frickin joke.
Maureen Biggane Commander, wtf!!! What has this job I once loved become??Listen boys and girls, if you haven't figured it out yet being a hard working street cop means absolutely nothing these days.
Good luck 016, Biggane has NEVER been the police. When she was a P/O in 009 her big thing was to write a couple of parkers. She would tell her partners straight out that she doesn't make arrests, chase cars, foot pursuits, etc. Then she made Sgt with a few years on and has been in nice units ever since.

11/02/2018 09:58:00 AM
Sounds like she was ahead of her time. Genius strategies for today's police career. Instead of criticizing you should have been taking notes.
Congratulations Central. Moss is great! 33 years in PATROL. She gets it!
And the band played on........
Moss is a good boss, I'm sure she will take care of her people, they all do it. As far as the rest of them, the ones that were there before Moss, I'd be a little nervous right now. Working a different watch and getting booted to the street when you have been inside makes for a long working day.
Armed robbery occurred O24. It sounded like they almost were captured. Car chase allowed for a bit but terminated. Nice effort by the officers of 020th District.
The D-Unit can use some changes. Look at the Homicide clearance rate. It’s an national embarrassment.
Merit: the quality of being particularly good or worthy, especially so as to deserve praise or reward, derived from the Latin word “mereri,” meaning to earn or deserve.
I don’t think anything is legit anymore on this job. My take on promotions past LT is that it’s only happening if you are literally or figuratively in bed with someone higher. It’s not based on merit. We hate merit picks, whatever color they happen to be. The irony, however, being that the department promotes heavily based on “merit,” whereas it is not the right term for candidates. I think I would be less angry if they had merit spots and another category called nepotism spots. It’s less insulting that the department blowing obvious smoke up our asses.
BIGGANE?
One helluva street cop in 011 and 007. That's why the politicians and top management keep promoting her to assure her 6 figure $alary and pen$ion.
It's all legit.
Hey Maureen
Tell us about all your great Part I felony arrests and your war stories, "Commander".
Maureen Biggane. Seriously? This is the same woman who worked for Supe Phil Cline. She was married at the time to a P.O. and they lived in Garfield Ridge. They throw this big Christmas party. Except...guests were asked to enter through the back door. No problem, right? Well, upon arrival Exempts were shown UPSTAIRS to mix and mingle among themselves with Maureen playing the Hostess with the Mostess. All non-exempt coppers were steered DOWNSTAIRS to the basement to her PO husband. Can't ever have the bosses rubbing elbows with the little people, right Maureen??
Remember...Earned Not Given...my ass!!! She can thank Tony Dick-e-o for this bump. SMH.
The last list included 8 African Americans
This list includes 4 whites and one bone for the Latin people, Ha!

Going back to where he was a much-hated sgt. This should be good.
Oh snap, New Comander in 017. Clean house , you have guys in the tact team that have not made an arrest in over a year! Changes need to take place. Easy way to do it is look at each individuel tac officers activity the past year!!
Eddie gone and Staples in. Bank on it.
Only if she can command from home like she did in 012
Hahaha...I remember when mb married Diaz. Diaz was running around telling everyone they better listen to him cuz he was gonna be a commander soon cuz his wifey was his road to the top....
008th district new commanders it’s a snake under the grass
Serious question, is the biggane everyone is speaking of the same one that started in 007?
I agree with comment earlier @11/02 12:37 pm. Clout has no color and all races got their guys/gals.
Timing is something though pre trial verdict and after verdict.
3:10, that is hysterical.
Moss is a great all the way around! Great boss!! I’m sure she serves better in 017 than in area central but this department makes only the best decisions
017 Congrats on your new Commander!
This just in....Big Bird just fired her security chief Delwin Gadlen....
Biggane construction. 11th ward. Super political. Nice person. Never the police. be careful around her, she will screw you over in a minute. She will only be in patrol for a couple months then back to HQ. How come this abusive system of promoting unqualified or incompetent people was not addressed in Consent Degree.

That's pretty good, considering he was never a Sgt in 017! Maybe if your going to hate on someone, you should really know about them first!
One new commander has ASSATA OLUGBALA (Shakur), aka Joanne Chesimard, the cop killer fugitive as her "friend" on her Facebook list.
Is Eric Elkins sergeant in the news this week promoted to lieutenant or captain since thats how CPD and Eddie Johnson works now?

Tact in 017 has been a mess for awhile now. Stellar leadership back there. Maybe RP will see it.
Commander Pontecore is a good man. The 017th district is blessed to have a good boss. He likes the working police. If you are a dog then you better start working.

Command changes don’t really affect me, I do the same shit no matter who is wearing the gold star in the building. It can affect the troops if the boss is an overbearing micro manager though.
Also, making command changes in the D will have zero impact on clearances. You cannot force cooperation from the community. Victims and witnesses can be difficult to wrangle and the State wants almost everything to be caught on video.
When is the Asians turn?!!! Racist MFers.

I would love to work in a place like 017. Good food. Nice people. Tax payers deserve decent service. I’ll do an arrest or two for ya ....

Good luck filling those spots! Nobody wants to work tact anywhere in this department any more. For what? Lawsuits and back stabbing by bosses for getting shit heads off the streets? No thanks. Let’s see how that goes down when the new commander tries to force numbers and activity.
Staples is a fantastic boss! Always took care of the working blue shirts and took the time run numbers on her employees to reward those who busted ass for her.

She married him twice. She found out he was dragging her clout-driven agenda down. Now she is on her third marriage to another sergeant. She has never done an ounce of police work in her life. She is focused on looking pretty and batting her eyes to get what she wants. It certainly worked on the old chubby bosses. She knows exactly what she is doing. She had inside spots her entire life, walking around with a pen and cup of coffee, giving her time to steal so she could go to law school. How dare she call herself a cop. Give her no respect.

Working police? Where have you been? Oh yeah I’m gonna start humping now because of Pontecore and start getting cr’s, lawsuits etc so that he can feel good about how well he is leading the 17th district. I don’t give a shit what he or any other boss thinks about my work ethic. I’m in a survival mode. You must be new or a total suck up.
What about the creepy communications Commander?
Pontecore is a good guy, he likes workers. He wil look at activity specialy people in spots like mission teams and tact. He will know who the problem officers are and who bullshits and kiss butt . He hates it when you disrespect supervisors . Some people hated him in here in 008 but he is fair. From what I have heard he goes back about a year maybe year and a half to see arrest numbers for each mission or tac officer.. to see who is always “assisting” vs. box 1. Good luck with him. He comes from the old school
They could send general patton to 017 and it wouldn't make a bit of difference. Only guys who they could get to work tac were young guys sick of working 1st watch. This new commander has just been dumped into a screaming hot frying pan loaded with bacon grease. Good luck, you'll need it.
Why don’t you make like a tree and get outta here!

Good to see Looney's clout took care of him. He gets that gold braided pension, Maureen next in line. Mo Money, Mo Money, Mo, Money.
I guess all that knowledge MB got from hanging out with Cline, McCarthy, and some others finally paid off. LOL
More unqualified leaving, and more unqualified filling their spot. Shit never changes, glad I retired, and moved to a Republican state. With my 3% cola I will get a gold braided pension soon enough. Meanwhile I live in a nice crime free area with no stress. Get out while you can as soon as you can! That's some sound advice for free!

Pontecore has a solid background of street experience and was very successful in the 8th district. 017 has been missing a effective leader for several years. Hopefully he can turn things around in the district and unite the street officers. He will need to do some house cleaning first. I have all the confidence in Pontecore to do the right thing and take care of the street officers.
Ronnie Pontecore was a stand-up, hardworking copper when he was working with us in the 10th District many years ago and nothing has changed about him. Great guy!
Brian McD is probably one of the best bosses left on this job. Biggane Inc. is exactly what is wrong with this city.

On facebook, "Maureen Bigg-Pas" has just "unfriended" the mole "sergeant" in 015 who legally changed her name to that of "Assata Olugbala" as an obsessed tribute to the convicted cop-killer and escaped fugitive Joanne Chesimard alias "Assata Olugbala Shakur" whose Black Liberation Army was responsible for the ambush assassinations of at least six uniformed NYPD officers and New Jersey State Trooper Werner Foerster. Add NYPD Officers Waverly Jones and Joseph Piagentini (double), Gregory Foster and Rocco Laurie (double), Phillip Cardillo and John Scarangella. May all rest in peace.
May God help the once proud CPD.

I agree. I’ve had my differences with her and have not been happy with some of the decisions she has made, but I will say that she does recognize those who work hard and rewards them as much as she can. You can also talk to her if you have an issue and she will listen and try to resolve it and/or make up for it.
If you’re a dog though.....watch out because anything you say and do will be held against you and used to discipline and/or dump you.
Well, I guess it still pays to be taken care of by, "I cant remember, what I remember!" Good luck 016!!!

Pontecore was referred to as "Bulldog" by his suck asses in 025 on the site and stated he was THE GREATEST sergeant and policeman of all time.
How things have changed.
Anybody that has a problem with MB is obviously a complete mut, a do nothing, or upset that his/her "GUY/GAL" didn't make it. MB is a standup boss who doesn't kiss the ring. Yes, if you are a mut on this job you should be upset over his promotion because he will handle your ass...BTW, when I say mut on the job i'm referring to those who are rule breakers, stay down on jobs for hours, avoid his/her calls, can't fill out a legible case report, and does nothing but whine all day..etc etc..
From Ed the puppet:
I wanted to take this opportunity to inform you about recent command changes and promotions that will take place due to the retirement of DEPUTY CHIEF ROGER BAY who has served this department with distinction. Deputy Chief Bay has dedicated 32 years of his life towards improving the safety of Chicago and bettering the Chicago Police Department. The majority of his career has been in the Patrol Bureau where I have had the honor of serving alongside him for the last several years. He will always be a member of the Chicago Police family and I wish him the absolute best in his retirement and future plans.
DEPUTY CHIEF – FRANCIS A. VALADEZ
I have promoted Commander Francis Valadez to fill the position of Deputy Chief - Street Deputy. Most recently, he held the position of Executive Officer in Area Central Patrol and has over 31 years of service. During his career, Francis Valadez has served as Commander in the 10th and 14th Districts. He also held positions in the Bureau of Organized Crime, Money Laundering Task Force and the Bureau of Detectives. He has a master’s degree in Public Safety Administration from Calumet College of St. Joseph and is a graduate of the FBI National Academy.
EXECUTIVE OFFICER OF AREA CENTRAL – SUSAN MOSS
Commander Susan Moss has been selected as the next Executive Officer of Area Central. Most recently, she was the Commander of the 17th District. She has served the Department for 32 years with positions in the 12th District as a Watch Operations and Tactical Lieutenant, 11th District Sergeant, Gang Team Sergeant and as an Instructor at the Education and Training Academy. Commander Susan Moss attended the Senior Management Institute of Policing in Boston and has a bachelor's degree in English Literature from Western Illinois University.
COMMANDER OF THE 8th DISTRICT - BRIAN McDERMOTT
I have promoted Brian McDermott to fill the position of 8th District Commander. Most recently, he held the position of Captain in the 8th District. He has served the Chicago Police Department since 1994 and has held positions in the 2nd District as a Lieutenant, a Sergeant in the Field Services Section and 4th District, as well as positions in the 22nd and 9th Districts. He has a master’s degree in Computer Science from St. Xavier University and a bachelor's degree in Political Science from Illinois State University.
COMMANDER OF THE 16th DISTRICT - MAUREEN C. BIGGANE
I have promoted Lieutenant Maureen Biggane to fill the position of the 16th District Commander. Most recently, she held the position of Lieutenant in the Office of the 1st Deputy. Lieutenant Maureen Biggane has served the Department since 1992 with positions in the Bureau of Organized Crime, Office of Communications, Office of the Superintendent, Bureau of Detectives and in the 12th, 21st and 9th Districts. She has a Master of Business Administration from St. Xavier University and is an active member of the Illinois Bar with a Juris Doctor degree from John Marshall Law School; graduating Summa Cum Laude.
COMMANDER OF THE 17th DISTRICT – RONALD A. PONTECORE JR.
Commander Ronald Pontecore has been selected as the next Commander of the 17th District. Most recently, he was the Commander of the 8th District. He has served the Department for 27 years with positions as Captain in the Inspection Division and the 25th District. He also served as a Lieutenant in the 17th District and held positions in the 25th, 15th, 10th Districts as well as the Gang Team. He has a master's degree in Criminal Justice from Lewis University and a bachelor's degree in Psychology from DePaul University.
I am confident that these new command staff members will build upon the legacy of service and professionalism and continue to make the Chicago Police Department a model agency that everyone can be proud of.
Congratulations and best wishes!
Sincerely,
Eddie T.Johnson
A total of two female officers followed her from 012.
There were more who transferred there because they couldn’t get what they wanted in 012.
Who ever wrote the comment at 8:31, first my friend it’s commander, not commanders, so what your saying about yourself is that you’re a dumb ass. Mc D a good guy, great policeman, so shut the fuck up dumb ass.

Moss told the boss she was set up to fail and he was pissed, saved again by Staples.
017th District Tac has been a disaster for years. Look at the Head Clown running the circus. Dumbino is in way over HIS head. Time to drain the swamp.

Geez, look at their tact sgts. Enough said.

Everyone complains about Eddie's promotions or NOBLE'S promotions, rightfully so. But most of Cline's promotions were just as bad if not worse than what's going on now. Now Phil is getting rich off the CPMF, a NON FOR PROFIT which he did not even start.

The difference is that back in the Cline era I didn't have to wear a stupid body cam and be treated like a child. If these motherfuckers want to act like everything is legit now then fine. But myself and many others are going to want transparency when it comes to these dumb fucks that get multiple merit promotions and then try to throw their weight around.

Staples is a fantastic boss! Always took care of the working blue shirts and took the time run numbers on her employees to reward those who busted ass for her.

I agree. I’ve had my differences with her and have not been happy with some of the decisions she has made, but I will say that she does recognize those who work hard and rewards them as much as she can. You can also talk to her if you have an issue and she will listen and try to resolve it and/or make up for it.
If you’re a dog though.....watch out because anything you say and do will be held against you and used to discipline and/or dump you.
11/03/2018 11:22:00 AM
Too bad when these bosses run numbers they can't look at how many jobs a patrolman handles via dispatch. When they start doing that then they can counsel me about job performance.
She was Anthony Escamilla's sponsor for Captain. Sorry but her opinion don't mean jack shit!
Classy family the Biggane’s. Her father Maurice Biggane was charged with 1st Degree Murder after he admitted to Lagrange, IL Police that he fired a sawed-off shotgun into the face of a male seated inside a car. Read all about in the December 10, 1963 edition of the Southern Illinois University newspaper, “The Daily Egyptian”. Real classy, and the clout remains.
017! Better look out!!!!!!
Wow only one of them has a degree a from Calumet College!
No dumbass, McD as you call him has always been about himself. He's been coddled ever since he made sgt, so why don't you stop holding his jock. Oh yea, Im sure he'll take care of you
Congratulations Central. Moss is great! 33 years in PATROL. She gets it!
LMAO! WTF have you been smoking or are you being sarcastic!? She was transferred out because the crime in 017 has been out of control! Officers are leaving the District because of poor management by the Supervisors. She may have a good personality, but, she didn’t get the job done and didn’t even make it a year in 017.
Changes are coming and there are few nervous officers and Sgt’s right now that might get booted, work the street, and be Police Officers like they signed up for in the first place. And please, start with the FRONT OFFICE (get rid of the midget), managements on 2nd watch, then CAPS, and down to Tactical Teams.
If true, the segregated party (troops downstairs; brass upstairs) has enormous psychological and moral implications about the character and motives of the manipulative hostess. It speaks volumes. What a piece of work.
Shame.
Who cares? Just a bunch of stupid and inept goobers who have zero talent.

Nagode didn't want her, wanted someone else (J.R. possibly) Al went out of his way to meke things difficult for her and had two different sets of rules... One for her and one for the rest of the area
Anybody that has a problem with MB is obviously a complete mut, a do nothing, or upset that his/her "GUY/GAL" didn't make it. MB is a standup boss who doesn't kiss the ring. Yes, if you are a mut on this job you should be upset over his promotion because he will handle your ass...BTW, when I say mut on the job i'm referring to those who are rule breakers, stay down on jobs for hours, avoid his/her calls, can't fill out a legible case report, and does nothing but whine all day..etc etc..
11/03/2018 12:55:00 PM
MB is Maureen Biggane... a woman. Put the bottle down.
Who gives a shit? I could careless if they promote Mickey Mouse. They're all part of the big pension members only club.

They could send general patton to 017 and it wouldn't make a bit of difference. Only guys who they could get to work tac were young guys sick of working 1st watch. This new commander has just been dumped into a screaming hot frying pan loaded with bacon grease. Good luck, you'll need it.

The Email from the Supt. about his picks is a JOKE
Everyone on this JOB will eventually have time (years on the JOB)
Why not ask the subordinates to write a paragraph about those you promote?
I’m certain it won’t be nothing great about these picks. It’s time to evaluate
those you advance mr top cop! I bet this department will turn around and be “Great Again”
FYI Time on the JOB and some education does not equal “LEADERSHIP”

For clarifications sake old retired Englewood ranger here. It was Marie Biggane who was a former ranger who doesn’t deserve a bad rap! Let’s get it right kids.

Ha! They should have made Marie commander!

Valadez merit was merit for every single promotion.

How things have changed.

Actually, the way to "fix" tact nowadays is to kill it entirely. We don't need one baggers, dopw, reckless conduct, and the always helpful tactical tvb arrests. They should all be on the watch, especially the new snowflakes with more time in diapers than on the streets. There's no need for jeans police teams in districts that can't even man their beat cars.

Do you think Cline would of somehow assisted you with NOT being required to wear a bwc had the technology been available when he was around? Cline would have done anything and everything, even service rmd's manhood, to keep the top job, so there is no chance he would have drawn a line in the sand over us wearing a bwc.

11;46am, U got that right. How nice for the new x/o of area central, to bad her "husband" with a different last name retired before she could get him promoted even more that dick.
When I was on the job the boss came in the tact office and told us to get heads, it was that simple. Sounds like they need that again. A head a day or your dumped. We’d sweep the parks and corners and bring in heads.
The problem with that team is that you have guys that got dumped from gangs... these guys are disgruntled and were put on a team that has since fell apart. That used to be one of the better teams in the district. Then you got these guys that got on the team thumping there chests about shit they did in gangs , but felt that they did not have to work or come in with arrests the past two years....and were allowed to get away with it . It sucks as a watch supervisor when these guys have no sergent and I end up having them in my log. The same two goofs leave early , sometimes beating me to my car, and leaving hours before there tour is over. There were supposed to be changes in the tact team, but nothing. I hope Pontecore asks around and get to the bottom of this. Only a couple of guys really need to get dumped , and the rest will fall in line.

Hey Rip Van Winkle. You musta just woke up? Or, you must be new to SCC? Because if you were not in a coma and/or you are a regular reader of SCC, how is it that you are not up-to-date on the news of day? You should acquaint yourself with the current climate and forget the dinosaur days.

And that's why we're dealing with body cams, ISRs, a consent decree, and all this other nonsense. When you were on the job, and you scrambled to bring in any and everything, just to get those numbers that were demanded of you by the boss. Quotas and pressure to make arrests lead to bad police work. We don't need that again. What we need is for people to be arrested when they should be arrested, not because you need the numbers. Find someone with a warrant. Safest arrest you can make. A judge already ordered that they be taken into custody. No need to look for anyone drinking or gambling or holding some weed or other drugs. "Go get me some heads" needs to be followed up with "but don't do anything stupid or manufacture heads just to keep your spot." Or just stop with the pressure to get heads. If someone isn't bringing in quality arrests, dump them from the team. They already know they're expected to produce a certain level of activity. No need for a pep talk or threats.

If they're on your log, you're responsible for what time they leave. If they leave before you want them to leave, and you don't stop them, that's your fault. If they do it again, and you still do nothing, that's on you too. Tell them what time they can leave. Tell them if they leave earlier than that, they get written up. If you're afraid to confront them and/or write them up, which it sounds like you are, tell the whole team they're doing the full 9 unless those two leave when everyone else leaves. They should spread the word for you, since you're afraid to do your job. A supervisor is supposed to supervise.
Worked for Moss for years on the watch. Among the best bosses I've ever dealt with, and I've spent years in the ghetto. Smart, knows police work, general orders, law etc... I don't car if she was serving coffee at Starbucks as a P.O., I'll take her any day over the countless douche bags who were the real police and got promoted or didn't get promoted.

That’s a great idea having new commanders who haven’t spent a day in the district deciding management picks. Next you will be telling us they will send a southsjder from downtown to a northwest side district to make managements picks
