Study Material
So there are a couple of places trying to put together study packages with all of the orders, law, etc into a single binder-ready package. But some people are saying that copy stores, like Kinko's, aren't allowing photocopying of copy-written material.
What is everyone else out there hearing?

As each person hands over their $25.00 the city should be dispensing a three-ring binder containing all the study materials.
no clout. blue shirt till 20yoj.
have the clout house mice and blessed handle the calls once we have to punch out.
FedEx Office on Clark & Wellington will do it and it's 50% off for law enforcement.
Over in the southwest side I had a place called PRISM that did a few for the Detectives test. I had my friend Thomas Jefferson talk to the girl at the counter.
study what? phone numbers????
Study the answers ...
Got special study group?
Use the shit copy services (Office Depot) and know it depends on the kid working the counter. Big box stores, which sell items other then copy services, most of the time will let this occur. If the store sells office chairs - the odds are better their copy center does not give a fuck what you have printed up.
Go in person to get this done, don't submit by other means. Most of those stores will do it but it is also correct that managers or some workers give that whole song and dance they won't support infringing on copy written material etc. If you find one who allows this with zero issue, run off a good size batch!

What is the obsession with printing from a service? The total size is about 600 pages or less of material I'd bet. Even double that size is okay for project making PDF file(s) to be used and shared that way.
Scan and PDF that content you have in printed form already. A $90 scanner (double side with feeder) for a home office, get one on Amazon, can do that task. This just has to be done once; split the task among a few people even and join the PDF later.
Upload the final PDF on a file hosting site, password protect the PDF and password access to the file sharing site download option. Share with any who are in the study group the passwords and download URL.
Any study group member can read the PDF (phone, tablet, PC etc) on a screen or just print it out at home in part or whole. Again $90 or less printer from Amazon can do that print task in two hours or a bit longer for 600 pages. Get cheap ass ink from eBay (just run head cleaning option when you change the cartridge) or Amazon ($10) and get paper from Costco for $20.
Hell, you can even take the cost of the new printer and ink plus paper off your tax return since this is bought and used for professional educational aims.
PDF sharing beats spending money at a store which might deny you the option of printing it out due to copyright issues. This is not 1996. There are more options to share complied content then just binders already printed.

Word on the skreet is that the rank of sergeant sucks unless you've got a phone call out of patrol.
Keep those fucking chevrons. I don’t want to babysit millennials, not even for the bump in pay and pension. These kids are likely to get you jammed-up... just look at the caliber of jokers they’re letting on this job now. I’m too close to the end to roll the dice with these clowns and D2A ain’t too far removed from D3.

You’re a true dork. Getting elitist and condescending over printing paper because you’re soooo smart. Another nerd boss on this job with an axe to grind.
Groot could really have her hands full in October 2019. There are three possible strikes in the offing. Chicago Teacher's Union, Chicago Public Schools Support Staff and the Chicago Park District, which would be the first strike in the 85 year history of the Park District. Now if we and the CFD can somehow contribute, the Groot's head might have a meltdown. She already hates us so it isn't like we would be losing a friend. Oh, and remember to Groot-swipe in and out starting next week!
If Kinko’s doesn’t photocopy of copy-written material. what exactly do they copy? Your an idiot. 2 words Flash drive. What is this 1980?
I’m printing out all the orders at work. It’s work related, right?
Maybe the FOP should order everyone to boycott the test?
I remember going to a print shop on the southwest side and buying a guide for about twenty bucks. This was 1998 though.
Is WHEEEEZZZZEEEE holding a study group??

Rumor of the day is for 20 G your local councilman can handle all the arrangements including the promotional party after your bump...
If you can buy fake social security documents,police stars, passports on 26 street, I'm sure printing copies of this crap won't be an issue. Oh and it helps support the sanctuary.
I have always found that paper clipping a $100 bill to my application has guaranteed me a seat in the first promotional class.
For that matter, most of the Chicago Public Libraries have scanners that will do the job. Bring a thumb drive.

Thanks for all this info Andy Dufresne. See you in Zijuatanejo
Copyright is an interesting concept. It began as a way to see that authors are temprorarily (10 years) compensated for their work, but has evolved into permenant Corporation control of information. It has been bastardized into a tool for shyster lawyers to extract huge sums from individuals on behalf of Corporations. There is no more original intent of protecting the creator, it is just another Law bought and paid for by th same crowd.
To think that Law books are restricted by greed seems patently un-American. Information is being controlled in a fashion not seen since the Dark Ages.
As a general rule, for works created after January 1, 1978, copyright protection lasts for the life of the author plus an additional 70 years.
Ask in your unit if anyone is taking one of those test prep classes? They all give usb drives with all of the materials on that usb. Simply copy it from their usb to your own laptop.Then you can read all of the materials. If you insist on having printed documents then reach out to a mom and pop print shop and you will get a good price.
If you still don't know what I am talking about then show this post to someone who is a bit computer literate.
Send in a foia request and have the department do it for you.
Plus it’s government records, copyright shouldn’t apply I think if you send to a company.
By yourself a shitty tablet only put the order on them which you can put on a Zip drive from work or print them at work study from there this test is going to be references and So’s Pass/Fail
Why is anyone looking to pay someone to print them out? Look up the orders at work and use the city dime to print out the orders for yourself. Do an order a day and you'll have all the relevant ones taken care of well before the test.

Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Now that explains why we want to have someone else print it and just sell it to us. Not everyone was a Geek Squad employee before this job. This poster has 5-10 years out of high school. Thanks for the Chinese coded message here. Lol!!!
Street Beat Members be advised:
CAPS has all the paper and toner on lockdown.
Nothing like last minute preparations and scrambling.
The mimeographs are turning at full capacity.
That Kinko’s reference was rich, maybe there’s one next to the FotoMat.
The last exam I took the high tech crowd had GO’s burned on a CD and the desk had an onboard disc drive (upgraded from a floppy drive). The Tech Unit was slow to replace all those old Dell’s and with that at least I can say, lasted longer than my promotional ambitions.
Tote around a 3 ring binder, huh ?
Hey, I wonder if the Strike-Ready CPS has some iPads leftover, stacked to the ceiling in some hall closet (what used to once be a library) they can issue us opportunity seeking candidates or are they saving those for the mysterious, reported months later “weekend burglary - we now need them replaced” requisition ? Gauging the way the hand out annual free backpacks, I suspect any CPS iPad surplus is long gone.
Good luck, and if anyone comes about finding a copy of the exam beforehand, please let me know. If you can, please upload it to MySpace account.
It’s not cheating, it’s opportunity research.
Remember - Sanctuary and Community First...even if you score 100 and rank #1 thru 99 on The List.
No guarantee whatsoever.
No need to study. Just ask Lt. Fenner to start a study group
SCC: "What is everyone else out there hearing?"
That the rank positions are already pre-selected and that the testing process is a giant smoke screen to give the masses the illusion of legitimacy.
Why try when the out come has been pre-determined.
Shoulda started studying over a year by now!

HAHA
KINKO's???
PUT that nifty uniform on walk into a mom and pop copy store in the hood and like magic you got copies!
Corporation dont like copying anything which could be copyrighted, alot of the employees hate the police you know the weed smoking types.
In the corporate world we call it problem solving!
3 possible strikes coming via Chicago Teacher's Union, Chicago Public Schools Support Staff and the Chicago Park District forcing our children to stay home on the ”safe” streets of Chicago. The police unions they better tell groot officers will have to take family leave, it’s for our children, and stay home for baby sitting and teaching duty since they are forced to be harmed by the residence requirement.
I was told no by FedEx. They will not copy the directives unless you have a note showing permission from the department.
I spoke to FoP. They said they are working on getting the written permission.
Anybody talk to Maggie Hickey about why part 1 for us is 0 points, and why the FK part 1 is 35 percentage points for CFD lieutenant?
WTF is that all about?
Retired/Disgraced Commander M.A. “Rainbow The Clown” would have study material for PPOs during his slumber parties. Just saying...
Does anyone know where Judge Prentis Marshall is buried?
I could not get mine copied as well at Office Depot because it says copyright on it. I called human resource. They said “ We’re working on it” I smell 5,000 grievances!
5 different orals?
No percent points for the written ?
FOP needs to file an unfair labor practice!
Is it possible that anyone can post questions from the second part last time?
Or something close to?
HEY ANYONE TAKING THE TEST Just ask Left Hand Eddie for the CHEAT SHEETS or Answers or ask his Wife , They Probably still have the Sargent's one laying around some where Or any Lt or Commander Cheat Sheets .

You didn't get the e-vite? lol
I know I'm going to sound like a cheap ass but but I should not have to contribute $25 for a test that is fixed.
If you are looking to get copies made now, you dont deserve to be promoted. Early bird gets the worm.The majority of this work should have been done. Now a bunch of cheap asses will try making copies on the company dime and the CRs will come in.

That's ridiculous citizens can look them up on line. they are public documents

LOL, won't copy the directives.... That's so 1992.
Go pick up a prepaid cell phone, use it to TAKE PICTURES of said directives. Email to a freshly created GMAIL account.
When somewhere around a computer, download a copy of PRIMOPDF, retrieve said email, and PRINT the picture to a PDF.
Grab some freebie PDF manipulation software, and create a binder of PDF's... Put it on a USB stick, or bluetooth copy it to someone else's phone... Use a PDF reader like Foxit Reader (free) to view it on the PC... Or one of the many apps for the phones and tablets to view it...

The department needs room to cheat.
I must be at Kinkos tomorrow. I’ll tell you what they say about it.
I still have the two Black Binders they gave out.
We’ll see
"...The sergeant job sucks unless you have a phone call to get out of patrol..."
I disagree. Being a sergeant gives you the rare opportunity to mentor police officers who have a long way to go. If an officer steps in shit trying to do the right thing, there is no greater satisfaction on this job than helping him/her out of it.
....Hell, you can even take the cost of the new printer and ink plus paper off your tax return since this is bought and used for professional educational aims.....
Probably not. With the new standard deduction and property/sales tax limitations very few people in the middle class reach this threshold.
I am retired 10 years,
Back then it was 10 grand to the right guy!
Now it’s 20 grand. Must be cost of living increase
There is company in the NW suburbs that has told me they would scan the documents and create a PDF at no charge if someone would want to take trip out there. Depending upon the quality of the original documents it might be possible to create text searchable PDFs. I'm not sure how to

You can save the orders directly as PDF's genius. Why would you have to take pictures, E-Mail them, then convert them to PDF's?
The problem is, it's 600 pages.
A little help from the MONITOR please Maggie?
the link below will give you access to the needed material. It can be accessed from anywhere you can connect to the internet.
http://directives.chicagopolice.org/CPDSergeantsExam_2019/directives/
CPD Sergeant's Promotional Exam - 2019
Directives effective as of:
16 September 2019
This version of the Chicago Police Department's (CPD) Department Directives System (DDS) is the official version of the CPD directives effective as of 16 September 2019. This site is provided to study for the 2019 Sergeant's Promotional Exam and will not be updated with new or revised directives. All of the CPD Directives that were effective on 16 September 2019 are contained on this site, however, not all of the Directives are included on the study guide for the exam. Please refer to the Sergeant's study material provided by the Human Resources Division for the complete list of required study material.
Ok somebody figured it out how the city games the system. No value for part 1 means merit hacks only have to pass with a 56. They don’t have to take part 2.
I wonder if this is a story for some sharp investigative reporter that follows the blog.A headline like “LOWEST PASS POINT IN UNITED STATES,” or “CPD promotes some unqualified people.” The Chicago way! SCC please pass this along.
Where can I get a copy of the test? Who do I see?
If you are not capable of easily working around the issue of a copy store not wanting to make your desired copies, then you are not supervisor material.
Penalties for copyright infringement include civil and criminal penalties. In general, anyone found liable for civil copyright infringement may be ordered to pay either actual damages or "statutory" damages set at not less than $750 and not more than $30,000 per work infringed. For "willful" infringement, a court may award up to $150,000 per work infringed. A court can, in its discretion, also assess costs and attorneys' fees. For details, see Title 17, United States Code, Sections 504 and 505.
Willful copyright infringement can also result in criminal penalties, including imprisonment of up to five years and fines of up to $250,000 per offense.

What's a pdf?
Who cares about computers, only the word pdt, aira is as far as I go. I wish everything was still on carbon.
I only know iphone and app, what's a program? Are apps the same as websites? Why do we even need websites? Hold on . . . don't the internet work through apps? Why can't everything be apps and instagram? Hold on, conversation here is done, I have to check my instagram.
Thank goodness I don't have to study that hard. I only need to get 51%, and I'll be in the first class.
Why is anyone even remotely interested in getting a promotion just for money? Clock in and do nothing the whole shift and enjoy life.

That just mad me cry
Who ever wrote the reading list is a idiot. They left out subsections. Example. S04-02-01... they only have s04-02..... jeez. That is important to know
Wheezie will get you the answers..... for the right price of course.

You’re being sarcastic, right? Read the intro. You are responsible for ALL of the addenda as well. There are a shit-load of orders to read over, “Sarge”
"...For my next trick I will turn lead into gold..."
There are many ways where a sergeant can help a P.O. If you don't realize that I hope you never make sergeant.
