Five? Only Five?

When Special Ed said a "small class" of lieutenants, he wasn't kidding:
  • PARKER, Michael - Unit 620 - "merit" by Cmdr Varrick Douglas
  • COSTELLO, Robert - Unit 121
  • EASTERDAY, Darren - 001 District
  • MAGNO, Michael - Unit 115
  • SALGADO, Agustin - Unit 701
Word is the "merit" guy transferred into the D Unit about eight seconds ago so it looked better, especially with only one person coming from the so-called "backbone" of the Department. And they start Christmas Eve, so there's that.

Congrats to the deserving.

Ok, Parker is the Merit hack.

The other 4 are off the list. Sure, ONE is from the "Backbone".

But how do you want this to play out?
Skip #3 and #4 because they are getting promoted from a Unit?
Sooner or later, you're going to pay them Lieutenant's pay, plus whatever they get retroactively and on top of the lawsuit.

Do I think it's "Fair"? Hell no.
But no one said it was going to be.

Bob Costello.... One of the "Department Advocates" in IAD. He works in an office with another SGT and his sole purpose is to put together charges to screw POs before they go to the Board. Never really supervised anyone, and is knee deep in a scandal. He'll make a great LT with all that supervisory experience. Remember, Earned, not Given. How many LTs came out of IAD now? Watch your backs, guys.

It is true, this is the last off this list. The consent decree going into effect requires some changes. A large group of captains will be made who will finally take over the watch commanders duties early next year. The city is tired of the scandal surrounding these tests so the new tests will be developed using civilians as subject matter experts, mainly those from the new accountability division made up of rahm's SJW's. The next Lt's test will be given in June with part two in September. The first class promoted will be before then end of the year. Start studying!!

Wait until you retire, that $45 will seem like bellybutton lint.
I commend your attention to that pay stub though, a while back I was shorted for for 2 months, 4 pay periods on my Step Increase.
Took another 2 months for civ employee Payroll to sort it out. Still think they shorted me.

For the unclouted, that means all applicants are rejected except for those with connections. They do not inform you of the mistakes until after the deadlines. Fool proof. This is the same trick they did with a promotional exam in the past; "notify the watch commander". There are several proven techniques for screening out those with out connections.

Bob Costello is a standup Sgt. His job as an Advocate was to process members who were to be fired. He or the other (Sgt L.C.) don't conduct the investigations, are not the originators of the CR's or make the decision to fire anyone. They receive paperwork from Corp Counsel (OLA C.V.) and the Sup (E.J.) then process and notify the affected members - that's it. Bob has helped more officers (including me) in his role than anyone I know...the role is necessary and someone must do it. We should be thankful he's in it rather than some piece of sh*t who relishes screwing coppers.

Just my humble opinion with first hand knowledge.

Why be jealous of anyone's ability to out float other oversized turds on the way to the surface of the clout toilet? Be inspired.

Same way he got the County gig, Jesse White and Walter Burnett. You musta missed his stop as an investigator in the ETHICS division of the Corp Counsel’s office. The guy works every angle possible constantly.

If you're an area south dick and haven't gotten the memo, hears a clue; this guy is not only from the IAD, he's climbing the ladder and has to make a statement. He's been put there because LAPD is coming to take you homicide dick's by the hand and teach you how to be a west coast police investigator. All those early ducks, stealing TD, suspending everything is going out the fucking window. Have a good holiday, hell is coming.

When an officer is involved in a high profile incident (justified), they turn tail and ignore them as if they never existed or the incident never happened.
They do love to embrace the offenders and the offenders family first (visiting them in hospitals and at their homes).
I'm surprised that Special ed didn't strip the officer until COPA Cabana is done with their investigation. (And that could take years - LOL)

They should have checked the new Lieutenant's credit. New merit Lt while assigned to a federal task force frequently used the government issued credit card for his own personal use. Gas. Cell phone pmts. Etc. Hell lets promote him meritoriously twice. Free NBA tickets is all it takes boys and girls.

The sgts association said that the Lts. test will not be given in June, won’t even be in 2019. That’s a rumor started by J Harris study group, to scam coppers to take his class.

I looked into him and can say with certainty that he’s a total scam- He has no connection to Bernstein like he claims. He’s trying to trick everybody

——————-
Who ever told you that a Lt test would be given in 2019? It wasn’t J Harris, or anyone else.
That’s ok, you’ll probably get a merit spot - not even a study group could help you.

Small suburban departments use it to get more coverage. Also another way to force more retirements. They realize they like the idea of only 2 watches. But 10 hour day requires more people and cars.

Bob Costello is a standup Sgt. His job as an Advocate was to process members who were to be fired. He or the other (Sgt L.C.) don't conduct the investigations, are not the originators of the CR's or make the decision to fire anyone. They receive paperwork from Corp Counsel (OLA C.V.) and the Sup (E.J.) then process and notify the affected members - that's it. Bob has helped more officers (including me) in his role than anyone I know...the role is necessary and someone must do it. We should be thankful he's in it rather than some piece of sh*t who relishes screwing coppers.

Just my humble opinion with first hand knowledge.

Judging by all you know, you must be the other Department Advocate sticking up for Costello. You forgot to mention he reviews all the paperwork and presents the case to the Super. He also knows of several dirty IAD investigators and knew of everything they would do improperly just to screw a copper. He obviously didn't try to help too many, because the bad investigators are still there and Costello never said a word. Watch your back if you get him. He will not help you, and has no problem watching you get hurt.

12 hour day would be great. 3 on, 3 off all the time. A lot more weekends off and you’re only working 3 more hours in a day than you’re already working. Or you can keep the 4-2 where you get what? One weekend off every 6 weeks? This is a no brainer.

OLA C.V. (the true piece of shit in this equation) directs these two Sgt's on al paperwork - they may render an opinion (if asked) but rarely, if ever does their opinion matter. Just an FYI.
