Lieutenant Class

Ten?

Only ten.

Someone has the list?

We're told civilians nominated two of the three "merit" picks.

Does the guy on the lowly beat car know how ridiculous this department is? I’d love to know. Because they keep working their butts off while the same people in the “in crowd” keep getting meritoriously promoted. Over and over it’s who you know not what you do. And this latest crop will be ushered back to some unit or inside positions where they earn bucko bucks doing next to nothing while the Lts who made it by score do the heavy lifting. Will this ever change? I pray for a consent decree that fixes this shit. It’s beyond broken. It’s theft.

I have to say that the Merit list should be troubling to everyone. First, not one of those new LTs has ever passed a promotional exam. Ok that happens but how is it possible that three people with profound emotional problems who each have long history of the inability to get along with coworkers and supervisors are the top picks. Each also has at least one major questionable incident in their background. Riccio violated the city personal code by his selection but as he says, I will be long gone before anyone figures out what happened here.

You have to understand how corrupt the Eddie Johnson administration is. He was allowed to do certain things by Rahm because he served a purpose. He now is selling his soul to keep his job and Lori is calling the shots. Johnson will go down as the worst homegrown Superintendent ever. And he’s too stupid to understand that.

SCC, I have asked this question before,but you won't print it: 1.Where did "Google Me" come from? 2.What are Google Me's Academic Credentials? 3.Does Google Me have ANY police experience? 4. With so many coppers with law degrees and Graduate degrees in Communications from top universities, including Northwestern: why did Google Me get his "Spot" as Spokesperson for CPD. 5. And finally, the question that would be supported by answers from my other questions, if answered: HOW DOES HE HAVE THE AUTHORITY OR EXPERIENCE TO PICK A LIEUTENANT? A REVIEW OF THE LIST SHOWS THAT GOOGLE ME GOT TO PICK ONE OF THE LIEUTENANTS! If he is a civilian with no police experience; should he be picking police supervisors? Stay Safe, Baby "G"

Lori allows corruptive practices like merit, double merit o triple merit promotions to flourish under her watch as a payoff to politicians. This is a trade off for embarrassing the aldermen and damaging their private money making schemes and "under the table" deals to enrich themselves at tax payers expense.

Specific to Lori, by allowing merit and clout to flourish, Groot's goal to further degrade Department leadership from within continues. This merit selection system institutionalizes incompetent and inept supervisors thereby ensuring poor decision making and policies detrimental to sound police operations. It makes little difference who is the Superintendent, Special Ed or the new guy, all will be beholding to Groot. The clouted Merit selectees will be beholding to their political sponsors. The Grand Scheme continues to flourish unabated and the Murder Mayor gleefully pulls the leavers of power to further drive the city into chaos.

This is what makes us Chicago Proud.

MG from the 25th district is going around telling everyone he is going to be on the next meritorious sergeant's list because he has 2 alderman, 30th ward being one who are pushing for him. He was merit Sgt. IR's partner in 14, and now the two of them can be merit sergeants together. Also tells everyone he has clout and can get as many days working at park security because he is manager's nephew. Dumb as a box of rocks. So he has the qualifications for merit prmotion.

I was arguing this back in 1990 as a patrolman in 007 when the FOP was trying to dump Dineen and bring in their own crew. Why do the unions allow merit promotions? Fight this and give up some bullshit like new squad cars. Make a big enough stink that it gets media coverage. But, all the unions back off this topic because.... They every once in a while get to name a merit pick. So, they are screwing the rest of us, to take care of one of their own every couple of years. Demand that the unions (FOP & PBPA) end this merit process. You're not going to get a fair wage anyways, so get SOMETHING out of this bitch.

Everyone has their opinion and you expressed yours, so here is mine. TD from Area North is one of the most competent sergeants in the Detective division. Was a good detective, was a good detective sergeant and will be a great lieutenant. Sorry if he hurt your feelings because he made you do your job.

Rumor is, two of the biggest suckasses you will ever run into. The carpet on the fifth floor is worn out from these two goofs walking the halls hoping to get noticed by some boss. One was called "the hat" because he walked around all day in the building with his hat on thinking people would be impressed. When he was a PO, he used to tell the other Po's that "he would never accept a promotion because that would be selling out his brothers".

Oh how far the suckassery had taken us, he grabbed two "merit" promos.

If the CPD is going to have merit promotions they should be transparent. Show the packet and explain where the merit comes in an why the officer deserves the merit promotion. At the awards ceremony they just don’t hand out the awards. They explain what the officer did to deserve the award

NOPE! That group has been blamed for receiving the most merit selections, but a quick review of the previous merit selections, (https://secondcitycop.blogspot.com/2017/05/full-merit-list-2006-2017.html), you will find that prior to the last exams, M/2s have received the most merit promotions.

People rarely question the legitimacy of the above statement and we all know why. The last exam is when the most recent band of NOBLE cheaters have in sheer numbers, far exceeded what the previous cheaters (Jimmy Maurer and Phil Cline) did. They cheated on the exam AND took the lion's share of merit promotions.

Merit promotions and management positions should be completely eliminated. A fair system should not have this,however CPD is so broken and so political it's a joke !

Retired here,
A.H. was a bit of a tool as a Sgt, good luck whoever gets him.

Tool?

Dude is a straight-up wet-eyed punk
who always ran crying to Cap'n Jan
or Shakey Jack when a copper would
push back on him and his bullshit.

Who is the new commander of OEMC? Where did he come from?

7/29/2019 03:32:00 PM

I thought OEMC was civilianized? Why do they have a commander? Or is it a civilian commander.
They are normally called directors.

Think about it:

You give the answers to a select few, maybe your girlfriend and all her buddies from IAD. They eat up the top ten spots by "rank."

Then you still have your 30% "merit" spots to give out to friends who were too stupid to memorize just enough to pass the test.

Instead of a 70-to-30% (rank then "merit"), now you get maybe 30-40-30 (cheaters then rank then "merit").

So now 60% of the bosses didn't pass the test legit and you end up with the mess we have now.

In no time you will see the negative impact this Sup and friends
have caused. Mayor said we have lost the streets, well get ready
to hear her say we’ve lost this Department.

Nobody gives a F@CK and the few good people on this job are
making it work. Play the game is one solution or fake it
til you make it, make the money and look forward to retirement!!

Laugh your way through... hahaha

Haters are going to hate no matter what and how you help the City of Chicago. Cindy Guerra earned her way to lieutenant by always putting others first, never hesitating to put in the extra work and never taking the easy way out. It's a shame that there are so many hateful and envious people in the world that will bash someone who was well deserving of this promotion, solely because they or their friends were not chosen for the job. After reading some of these comments it is evident on who clearly does not deserve this high of an honor anyways. Just goes to show how many people have such little respect for others. It's sad that this world we live in is more concerned about tearing each other down rather than supporting each other. Cindy Guerra is one of the most considerate and hardworking people I know and I, for one, am glad to have her our lieutenant.

Dealt with her once in awhile while she was a Sgt. Seemed nice enough though maybe a bit of a Kool Aid drinker. If she's as great as you say she is then good for her. However, if she ever becomes my lieutenant and tries to strong arm me into bringing in blue cards or ISRs then fuck her and fuck you as well. Time will tell but it's usually the merit goofs that push for numbers. Hopefully you are right

CG hasn't worked the street in almost 20 years. Played school sgt. in 25 and hid outside the district most of the day. Her crew was worthless but they sweet talked her and she let them get away with all kinds of bs. Terrified of the street and scared to death to make a decision. She was perfectly fine where she was at. Now googleme, who doesn't know shit about police work or what a supervisor needs to know nominates her. What a joke. And people wonder why this department is so f--ed up. She how long before she becomes another incompetent commander.

You are wrong. Guerra was a decent PO and was never afraid to do her job. Guerra worked a beat car in 011 for a number of years and on viewed a robbery on her way home one day. She got involved and ended up shooting the offender I believe. She was also dumped as the school sgt in 025 by a petty ass Lt who didn’t like her. I also remember an occasion where she on viewed a bunch of juvies fighting in the middle of the street and pepper sprayed them. She’s always been a hard work imo and will be a good Lt.

Congratulations, hope you become a commander soon. 011 rules. And as for Cindy Guerra, well she has more balls than some of you talkers.

Ok, then what should one do to get a merit promotion? Funny how some forget the good these people accomplish in their career. Did you forget CG saved the life of a 10 yr old African American young boy from drowning while off duty? No hesitation, CG jumped in and proceeded to bring him back to life. So,to many,she deserves to be a lieutenant.

That's a life savings award not a promotion. Maybe in the Baywatch that's a promotion. Only for LAPA merit hacks can that be a justification for a merit promo.

You are wrong Cindy Guerra NEVER shot anyone she is a merit hack. Walks around always trying to get noticed asking every boss she meets to promote her. Would of never made LT on her own score. When she worked in the streets she was not liked dumped from school car in 25 . Subordinate did not respect her. and all talk in 011. MERIT HACK ALL DAY
let see where this clout hack land. Let me guess. Close to home up north
It’s all BULLSHIT.

Good luck to those who will work under her.

Omg I want to throw up. CG is arrogant and self serving a cry baby talking to any boss who will give her a minute asking to put her in for Lieutenant. Has not worked the streets in years. Promote the working police the real
Sergeants doing the work on the battle field in Chicago... She is a house mouse just looking doing everything for attention. The real working sergeants in the field should be the merit picks in the department. She was not even going to make it off the list.
Now she will cry about needing to work close to home.
