Promotion Class Promised?
So the comment section lit up with multiple comments regarding a promotional class coming up on 10 December. We don't know if this was a Special Ed e-mail as has been his habit a week or so before announcing a list of what.
We've seen numbers running from 50-to-100 Detectives, 60 sergeants, and 0-to-10 lieutenants. Someone also posted that the "merit" names are a wonder to behold, so there must be some political favors being granted before the upcoming election.
No idea why they'd do this before Christmas.

Let’s add another 125 detectives ASAP !!!!!!
Umm, no. This is false. No chance of a lass at all this month.
Another tidbit from today's trial. Witness Torres, who does not stick around after the shooting, goes to IPRA after he sees the news the following day. He does not call police, FBI, or any other official agency. IPRA is the only agency he tells his story to and provides his info to.
Afterwards, who shows up at his house? Jamie Kalven a journalist, to discuss his statement he made to IPRA.
Torres is pissed because IPRA gave his info out and he thought his statement to IPRA would be confidential.
So why was IPRA handing out confidential info to a journalist? It's not the only time they've leaked info. Why are we to believe COPA, who has many of the same employees, does not continue the leaks.
Let’s do some simple math.... 2019 is an election year. That will bring a few of our most NOBLEST members to retire. There’s an endless line of slime from the merit slugs that need to be made while the current merit slugs are in power. All that equates to is a couple of promotional classes to get the last minute clouted in spots. Prepare yourself for the grand finale of merit promotions.
They ALWAYS do it before Christmas, SCC. This isn't new. It's like a Christmas gift and it happens frequently. A 'feel good' moment, if you will.
Ha. Nope. Not at least until feb or march
Goody more Merit Hacks on the way. LOL. Given not earned taken to the next level. LOL the merits promotees are nothing but a bunch of worthless ass kissers. To all those merit SCC readers you have absolutely no respect amount the ranks of the CPD. They all hate you for what you have done and what you are. Look in the mirror that men's you merit hack.
The latest list of who you know and who you blow will soon be released. Don't understand how the merit tools can look at themselves everyday in the mirror.
Just curious how much did it cost for a spot on the latest merit list. Follow the money Mr inspector. Nothing happens in city without money exchanging hands, it is the Chicago Way. In this case it is also a matter of Chicago Values, how much to be on the list. Kind of a Chicago twofor.
There’s recently been classes right before the end of the year. A Xmas gift if you will. Has anyone heard of a possible start date?
Merit promotion tied up in a nice Christmas package with a pretty bow. Sweet.
This promotion in December will not happen.
OT....Superintendent now has his"nurse" who works in his office as his "Driver" LMAO,Hey C.D., do you use the "superintendents" car to pick up your kids from school??.Is WHEEEEEZZZZEEEE ok with this??.I cannot wait when both of you run into each other.. Did he "promise" you a "spot" when he leaves in a few months?
I am going to be Merit SGT.
I have re submitted my paperwork. Was I supposed too?? I don't know.
The contrast between our "line of brass" at an event or news conference and the best and brightest of other cities is an awesome
sight to see.......
Teetering side to side, chewing gum, nine different uniforms, unauthorized hairstyles, lovely painted nails and lips, three time merit picks.
2500+ shot, 500 killed.....
Rahm's idea of a prosperous big city boasting 25 millions visitors a year....sure, add some more triple merits to the line up....
I love MERIT bosses...
Most of them do not have the attitudes like the ones that were given answers.
And most Merit guys know how to kiss some a**, which is how the game is played.
And true - this dept is a circus... Merit all the way..
Make it one way or the other....

And I thought I was a great liar this jagoff should win an award, so what happened to your thirty year old son you were driving to the hospital that night, did he pass away...pos
I was wondering if any merit picks will have legally changed their name to that of a Federal fugitive who was convicted in the murder of a law enforcement officer?
It's happening, according to my HQ sources. Congrats to all who made it by score...you will laugh at merit list I have heard.
I can see Dets but more Sgt’s and Lts? We are already overloaded with supervisors. Everyday there’s two Lts sitting in the office surfing the net and watching TV. Why? What a waste of $$$.
They gotta get their merit picks threw before the election
Please don't make Mack a captain , he's way too valuable telling people how to shovel horse manure !
Dept. can promote all the detectives they want, what’s that going to do? Nobody cooperates with police in the ghettos. Chasing burglary offenders is like chasing ghosts. Preliminary investigators aren’t too motivated these days either, anything more than a mere notification is rare. Oh well, being a dick ain’t a bad gig. Congrats to all who made it.

If you want that spot you pay, the old saying grass,gas,ass, or cash no one rides for free is still true, think about latest merit appointees and your answer is right there! Wonder how many aldermen are paid off and what bosses continue to buy "tickets" to political events to keep those spots? Hmm What was ed burke's computers any bosses names? Just axin!
Well they start taking merit applications again this is a new promotion class no???
Make it anyway u can...
Merit or by Rank.
It does not matter.
All that does matter is your family.
Haters eill hate no matter what.
And it's always the same 10-20 P.O.'s complaining.
Merry Christmas!!!
Don’t send any new Sgt.s to 019! Want that cry baby to stay on midnights for a while!
so that's why some desk dollies in ocd recently got moved out to teams.It has to look legit when they hand them that merit bump.
CPD sucks, hate to say so, but its true !
eddie burke has a lot of merit picks too.

Merry Christmas to you, too, pal.
There are indeed more than “10-20” PO’s rightfully complaining. Screw merit and what it has bestowed upon this ass-backwards Dept. Merit has truly taken away rightful opportunities to deserving members.
Merit has poisoned this Dept.

Been that way for years, many years. Do you think in the 60’s , 70’s and 80’s they cooperated. Get a clue. Gangs were worse then, murders were up No reason with modern technologies the detective division can’t get more clear ups. Make the arrest and if ASA doesn’t approve, you can still clear the case. And don’t forget about the videos as a investigative tool or the advancenent in DNA. Excuses are getting old

Part of the consent decree. Those idiots thought CPD needed more supervisors and made that a big part of the report. You don’t think the mayor wants more supervisors and the associated additional expense
Evidently the authors of the report watch tv where police supervisors in most departments actually do some work, not surfing the net and watching TV
So why was IPRA handing out confidential info to a journalist? It's not the only time they've leaked info. Why are we to believe COPA, who has many of the same employees, does not continue the leaks.
Who says you are to believe that? I doubt anyone does

- what a tool. You would rather suck ass than pass a basic test. Low self esteem slug
Nobody s training any new Dicks.
They all on they own. They do know everything thou.
I’ll bet any money there will be a (Dillion) Falardeau, Jamie on that list....... Remember it’s all legit
This department needs about 50 Et's made and all of them put on the street. The collection of evidence and processing of scenes should be number 1 on the list of things to get done by this dept.
If you think cash is the only form of payment in Chicago then your either not from Chicago or a Moron. Plenty of people doing carpentry, plumbing, and electrical work for promotions.
If it wasn’t for the 30% merit I would have been promoted two classes ago. Now there’s rumors of a new test. So “Mr make it anyway you can” can go fuck yourself. Nice to know that because you have clout you deserve to take my spot. There almost at 500 on the Sgt’s list so at 30% merit that’s 150 undeserving Sgt’s. And they want us to think it’s all legit, sure it is.

you mean the 60's when all the detective had to say was "He confessed?" Ya, it don't work that way anymore.
It really doesn’t matter much anymore. Not enough improvement anyway, with peomoted Officers for years now. Nothing changes all that much. Why even bother anymore? It’s all just a cherade...
Here’s my envelope. When do I start my new assignment? Wait a second, I don’t like that District/Area. Here’s another envelope. CPD in a Nutshell.
Cant solve murders cause the community doesn't cooperate, like I give a fuck then if they don't give a fuck, fuck em.
More idiots

Some of those merit people also scored better than you, but just jumped the line a bit to get made a little earlier. I personally don't think they should go much beyond the top 500 for promoting to sergeant. If you're around 500 or lower on the list, you should feel very lucky that you even have a shot at being promoted. Study harder next time and you won't have to worry so much about the merit people.
Kool aid from 015 on the merit list...unbelievable
12/01/2018 12:21:00 AM
Yeah, because she's not that far out on the list. So take your salty ass back to your fetal corner.

So the person who scores 500 or better out of 5 - 6,000 needs to study more??!! And not have a right when another secretary who scored 3,000 gets handed a supervisor position?! Go fuck yourself merit hack.

So probably 100 or so merit that were in the 1000's is ok but someone who scored 500 needs to study more. OK got it, makes perfect sense. And you're right why would those 8-10 year clout babies want to wait their turn to be promoted, have to qualify for the Lt's test and take another merit bite out of the apple.

Hey SuckHole,very few of the people who scored good, but not great, get promoted meritoriously. The people who know they are making merit don't normally put that much heart into the studying part of the process. They put ALL of their heart and lips into the ass-kissing part of the process. How else do you think Wynter Jackson from HR can recognize outstanding police-work? Or the person from Building management? The original commenters point is that he is eliminated from the process scoring in the mid 350's, but the merit suck-holes can be a viable candidate 2000 spots back. Fact, yes, fair, no.

So let's get this straight. Obviously you received a merit promotion or are waiting for one. In your infinite wisdom you believe someone who scored less then 500 on the Sgt's list but has some clout should use that clout to get promoted asap rather then wait for their number to be called. You also think that someone who lands around 500 on the list should "thank their lucky stars" that they might actually get promoted legitimately because you being a merit Sergeant don't think anyone 500 or over should be promoted at all. Interesting. We didn't even touch on the fact that 100 or so people are invited to "study groups" you know NOBLE, 011 district Tact teams, Mauer's guys etc, etc, etc. The fix is in pal I know, this is Chicago and "Chicago ain't ready for reform." So I'll do what I have to to get by and since I'll have my 29 and be 55 soon enough I'll wish you and everybody else on this job well. Be safe brothers and sisters.

Did I say that? With your total lack of reading comprehension, I'm guessing you didn't even come close to cracking the top 3,000. I was very obviously speaking only of the merit people who also scored in the top 500. There are more than a few. I know 4 merit sergeants who would've made it on score by now, but jumped the line by a few classes. Is it right? Maybe not. Did any of them take a spot from Mr. 500+? Nope. Merit hack? Sorry to disappoint you, but I was in the top 50.

Hey MathWhiz, you missed my point... as well as the point of the original commenter. He didn't score in the mid-350s. If he did, he'd be promoted by now, since he stated "there" almost at 500 now, and he would've been promoted two classes ago if not for the 150 merit promotions. Based on your own assertion that very few of the merit promotions were people who also scored well, that means the original commenter scored somewhere around 500. I was simply pointing out that not all of the merit people promoted ahead of him pushed him back a spot. I was not saying merit people deserve it more, or that civilian bosses should be picking sergeants from the bottom of the list, or that merit is awesome. Some merit picks didn't know they were going to get promoted via merit until after the test was given. So they probably studied harder than those who were already promised a spot. But all of this makes too much sense, so I must be wrong, and a merit suckhole, because you and Mr. 500+ are angry. Keep on whining and you'll make sergeant soon enough.

Two things matter:
1. Everyone get home safe
2. Make as much money as you can and need.
I agree
Save $2500 - make merit everything and laugh as I retire out of State

Sounds like the two of you need to you need to handle this debate at a bar over a beer
Wynter Jackson from HR...isnt she the head of MLAS (management and labor affairs)---its like the original poster is a Chicago news reporter (print and screen)---just say some crap, don't bother to do any research, fact checking, review or edits---just get it out there - accuracy be damned
8 Merit Sgt’s would have been called by number at this point. That means 142 did not score under 500 but are somehow more qualified then those that did. Makes perfect sense.

Actually Mathwhiz, if they’re on 500 promoted Sgts and he would’ve been promoted 2 classes ago that means he scored better than 500. But because of merit he’s been pushed back past 500. And you were top 50 off the list? Yea ok.

Just another excuse. You really think that’s all they did? There were days the squad room was almost empty because they were on the streets, not on the phones all day. Yea everyone cooperated with them, community was engaged with the police.
once upon a time CPD had a Youth Division , Homicide Sex Unit ,Burglary Unit , Robbery Unit , General Assignment Unit , Auto Theft Unit , Gang Crimes Unit .
All headed by a Unit CO , rank of Lt. filled with working Sgt's and Detectives
a few times a year the dead weight would be demoted
Now the dead weight are promoted meritoriously to detective and Sgt assigned to D Unit
CPD also had Task Force assigned to areas on Patrol in District Hot Spots and
Tactical teams that made arrests , looked for bad guys , not complete ISR ,ANOV's
the community activist gave every major city a police force that cannot arrest bad guys , it started in january 2009 , thank a democrat , fake news and fake reverends with love child and tax cheats

LMAO. Yeah a “test” which no one grades, or ever sees again once submitted. Can’t stop laughing. Thank you. It’s all legit kid lol.

Each Area had Youth Division people, a Homicide Sex Unit, Burglary Unit, Robbery Unit, General Assignment Unit, Auto Theft Unit, Gang Crimes Unit and each was individually run by a Lieutenant and each was manned with Sergeants and detectives or Youth Officers or police officers. (Youth Investigators and Gang Specialists were not yet invented) The G/A Unit Lieutenant was in charge of the facility as the Commanding Officer. On paper he was the big boss of the Area, but in reality the other Lieutenants reported thru their own chain to their boss at HQ, although the Lieutenants would be careful to keep the C/O in the loop on a heater case so as to not diss him. There were no "her" bosses yet. Also, the G/A Lieutenant knew when and where to leave well enough alone.
Today is the 10th.... where are all the promotions everyone is talking about??
