44%???
Rumor of the day:
- Get this - passing score for Part I of the sergeants exam has been set at 44%
Remember, when taking an exam, you're only as good as the dumbest clout baby.
And you can rest assured that the guy or gal with 44% will be promoted along with officers scoring in the top 100. In fact, they'll be answering your "Request for a Supervisor" calls and talking to citizens, all while knowing less than 50% of the testable portion of the job.

44%.... sounds like that answer sheet that was floating around is accurate then. Heard some pretty low scores on that thing.
Cue the dumb and dumber chipped tooth smile and lots of people feeling like...
“So you’re saying there’s a chance!”
Great test takers don’t equate to great leaders, nor do poor ones. It’s something more than this gauge. Every question on the test could be easily looked up on a phone in seconds giving you the answer if in that situation. They need to revamp the whole system.
Does that rumor come with, when are we getting our results?
How will part 2 be completed?
When the hell is part 2??
Holy shit!
But rememebr it’s all legit!
That should just be embarrassing for the department to even consider. But it's the Chicago police department, so nothing is embarrassing as long as the "right" people get promoted. I'm sure the people scoring 44% will have stellar performances in part 2.
Lol
Merit is gone, but the “oral” portion of part 2 of the Sgt test is going to basically be what merit was on past tests. Hey Charlie, if you want be transparent make every “Oral” video available for all Department members to view.
I’m not even taking the test and I can score a 44%. Lol
Da Fuck Wit Dis Shit!!! Pssh...Unreal
Only 44 percent? Nice to see they are emulating South Africa's Matric test results where the minimum score for a pass is 30 percent. So in the mathematics exam for example 54 percent passed by achieving a mark of at least 30 percent. That's pretty bad. So perhaps next time CPD crank it up to 50 percent to pass like the SA high schools plan to do. Just make sure there are special study groups for the the clouted ones. It's all legit ask LT Fenner.
Speaking of over promoted merit goofs. Area south LT Spradley is curious he got called out on his fake cameras he set up in the unit to make coppers think he’s spying on them. The other day the noble promoted LT printed out everyone’s activity on posted it on the wall trying to embarrass coppers. Then he said overtime is activity based, not seniority based. When asked to tell us what activity he didn’t say a word. He won’t put it down on paper either. A real company coward. Then he threatened to switch day and night teams and keep them on a rotation. What a pussy hole. Tell us again how much you studied for your promotional tests.
Unbelievable! You would have to be brain dead to not pass!
I guess knowing the policy and procedures is not important.
Omg, no wonder there’s so many dumb supervisors, pathetic.
"while knowing less than 50% of the testable portion of the job."
Meaning: the RULES!!!
And why should that matter when none of the politicians follow them.
Passing score: one point below the stupidest guy with clout. The first part only exists so that the clout babies can be said to have passed a test. The rest of us have to score high on the SECOND part.
44% passing ??? I guess next the passing score will be if you gots a pulse.
Make Way!
This must be the new CPD change this shithole asked for. Does your appearance demand respect.
isnt that even below the average of someone picking the letter b on the whole test?
BOY this city is fricking corrupt.
So you're telling I have a chance?
About the same as last time. Previous low bar for part 1 was set by PT of 007
32 years on job,
Passed 4 promotion tests
Still pushing a squad in the hood.
And now they drop test to 44%
Things are looking good at getting those stripes.......not going to happen.
But can you see the connected kid passing this test with no time on the job?
What a great Department we now have
Dumb it down. Dumb it down.
What a fucking joke
44%? Well anyone who passes the test should NOT brag about passing since most if not all should pass..Even a High School kid has a 50-50 shot at passing! Also, it proves the Mr. Beck is FULL OF SHIT when he says changes are coming..Since the merits won't get promoted, at least this time around if its true what they say, well make sure they pass with a 44%. Seriously, it takes 2 months to figure out and score a 44%? Sounds like the Clout are behind close doors again. This Dept. sucks.
Im not police but I bet I could have guessed my way to 44% and Sgt. pay and retirement. 44% wouldn't get you out of grade school, well maybe in Chicago it would.
Unreal.....welcome to the dummycrat controlled sanctuary city. Hahaha.....yea when I call for a Sgt I want a person who barely made it out of CPS and then never studied for Sgt test who scored a 45%.......100 questions.....scantron test which is graded before you leave the test site. Test given by a non clouted company. No subject matter experts (wink wink) who have access to the test prior. Then you would get the best and smartest candidates. If the results do not reflect the demographics of the City....so be it.....study harder next time merit fucks.
44%?!!!
What a slap in the face for those of us who actually STUDIED! It’s unfair. The passing score should have been a 70%, just like the FTO test.
Dumbing down that is what they are doing like you said S cc the one at the bottom will still be called boss, that is like what do you call the medical school student who finished at the bottom of the class who is just push through for whatever reason maybe because of being a minority or whatever kind of nonsense you’re still call the doctor even though they will be totally incompetent.
PT from 007 scored in the 30s in the last exam and was one of the first merit picks.He called plumber rod to get him back into 007 using a management spot when there were 3 bid openings.
So what’s the point of the consent decree of you pass people who can’t get half the answers right?
Pathetic!!!
44% unfrickenbelievable!!! Even for the public school kids. This department is in a death spiral down the toilet. Qualifications should be increasing not decreasing.
As it has been in SCC and the news, the CFD testing is also bizarre. In most every other career US fire department the test-taker must score at least a 70 (passing grade for most)in order to challenge the oral examination. CFD requires a pulse. We have functioning illiterates get a 50% on the written (any CPD [yes] officer could probably pull that off)and 100% on the oral,... ahem! The score, with minimal seniority, will be 75 and considered passing and eligible for merit(also a farce).
Now wait 10 years between exams and voila1! - that slug with the 75 will be a battalion chief (and appointed above according to their clout)or any other promoted rank.
Additionally, CFD promotional exams are most often incredibly easy so that those who studied hard are clumped together in a tight group at the top. This allows for the "band" to encompass the dolts.
For those unfamiliar with the term "band", it is the latest euphemism for quatas. An example: if the band is 7 (we are not sure how this magical number is conjured) and a white test-taker receives a composite score of 95, a member of the protected class who gets an 88 grade has the same grade and gets promoted at the same time as the white.
Good luck with ACLU, EEOC, Legal Aid of U of C, etc - "ya gotta understand ..."
Another reason I elected not to take the test.
No sleep,no study and hung over and I guessed at most of the questions.PASS!99
What's the formula? And what action can we take to correct this stupid shit?
They cant even make it 50%. Good lord that is sad. Isn’t there something with the consent decree that mandates it has to be 70% and above?
Any prof of this or when the results come out? Also will they assign a score or just yell you passed or failed?
56% of the answers were answered wrong by these future merit slugs. I bet if you just chose C for every answer you’d get a higher score.
Forty Four Percent? If the fact that they cant tell you what the "magic" number is BEFORE you take the test doesn't scream impropriety, then nothing will. Also add in the extended time interval to grade a simple scantron test answer sheet. (We vote with those you know) So much for transparency here...The results should be immediate boys and girls.
The reason we cant have a legitimate promotion process here is because no one in charge of this city or department is interested in having a legitimate promotion process.
I'm ready to leave this G-d forsaken city, and it is as bad as the day I arrived. Look throughout he history of this second city, and you will find it as corrupt as it always has been since it's inception in the 1800's.
So Beck is just a tool!
Good to know that clout and another form of merit will continue in the corrupt Shitty City. Beck you didn't really think your little effort of no merit promotion while you are here would stop these M/F's from getting clout heavy slugs moved up the chain. That's right, you're not from here are you.
Everyone’s favorite wannabe tactical Barbie KM in 003 says the test was super easy, even with her 4 years there’s no way she didn’t ace it. She’s so knowledgeable she’s personally been offered a spot in GEU south that she’s gonna kill time in while waiting for her stripes. She truly is gods gift to policing, just ask her.
Sure, it’s important to have SMART people leading the way as Supervisors so it makes perfect SJW Democratic sense to set that bar REALLY LOW to get the best and the brightest....from the right persuasion of race, creed, color, political clout.....
Eh, Mr. Beck??
That’s why this place is a joke. 44% really. Should be 70% but certain idiots would not make it. Still fixed.
Damn, why did I pay a couple of grand on that Bernstein course? I should've just paid for leadership classes!
They fired the entire class for cheating

Hi... can I get a different supervisor please?
Sgt who retired 10 years ago said:
Anyone scoring below 44% should be fired.
We are all #1.
Clout? And optics too. Be honest. The promoted have to look politically correct.
All Ashore that's Goin Ashore Says:
I wonder if CPD is still switching scores of legit high scorers with those of low scorers with clout. Oldest trick in the books, and inept IAD has done nothing for decades... It's really something when you even have a crooked Internal Affairs Division in a crooked PD, in a crooked city, in a Crooked County, in a Crooked State, in a Crooked Country.

I don’t necessarily disagree with on that premise, but there should be a higher standard of basic knowledge of the job that requires at least a 70% passing score on the exam. There should without a doubt be a resource based (open book) portion of the exam that asks completely obscure questions that requires test takers to determine which resources they are going to need to determine the correct answer. I’d rather have a supervisor that can tell me that they don’t know the answer, but will get the answer for me, than some fool that lies to my face and gives me bad advice. All this being said, almost everyone should know how to look an order up on their phone should they need to, there’s no need to call a sergeant with those questions.
The clouted do-nothing surely got a 44%, but you can be damn sure they are 100% bringing their knee pads to part 2, and every day to work in between. Oral exam, EJ style. Where your score is based on the weighted scores of how fast you bob your head up and down in one minute, combined with (-) PSI rating for suction. Interesting times.
Yet these dumb fools who score 45 percent and then get promoted by the skin of their teeth will strut around like peacocks believing that they are far superior to their once lowly peers. Cream always rises to the top.
This department is a joke! I hope the media picks up on this story and they embarrass our city leaders by letting the public know how extremely low they set the standard to become a supervisor.
Ridiculous!!! What an insult to all of those officers who sacrificed so much of their time studying day after day. The passing score should be set before anyone takes this exam. Getting a 44 on this exam and passing is just plain corrupt way of getting the Clout kids in. The passing score should be at a minimum 65, as is standard in any educational system. This would eliminate half of all participants and establish a small but competitive number of people taking part 2 of the exam. If they are setting such a low score to pass they might as well just give everyone a participation trophy and pass everyone.
Get 44% and buy your white shirts for a merit bump. Easy Peazy! Why have a collegiate requirement if we are going to have this appallingly low level of competence when it comes to promotions? I know people with a GED that can guess their way to 44%. And they would make great leaders in some cases.
Why is everything with this city screwed up???
44%! Awesome. I passed! Haha to all you goofs paying thousands of dollars for study groups!!!!! Wahahahahahabaha
And when you respond to this....address me as sargant!
O.T. .. (012) (3rd Watch) so anyone know who was the individual or individuals who recorded the Sgt. at roll call? We were all told there was going to be an investigation and getting an open CR or possibly fired from the job. All of a sudden it’s hush hush as though nothing ever happened?? Sgt L and his side kick, brain washed, doesn’t have a brain of his own Sgt A are acting pretty quite now about it. Was it someone they like and decided not to take action? I just have to say this from a classic movie The Wizard of Oz.. When scarecrow starts singing.. “If I only had a brain”
So March 20th we should get results ?
Just have everyone that takes the test pass
Anyone who scores 44% probably should even be on the job.
Lmfao because the highest score is a 80 or lower! Lmfao hahahah
Like all the test offered by cpd, I love to see the scores from the average citizen and officer with out the opportunity to study.
Spradley was a kiss ass and always will be. What happened to his beef from a project girl who said he has been following her on midnights . He asked her to ride along with him.
Whew. Thank god, I passed
This can't be true. A blindfolded monkey filling in random bubbles can score higher than 44%.
This is going to show whether or not Beck has any control of anything.
Videotape all oral exams including those who ask the questions.
Beck, or his designed copy from California, are going to be crushed by city hall.
His name will be a 'punch line' in a joke as the other superintendents before him.
He will not receive the best and the brightest - he will accept only the bottom 44% that have business cards stapled to their applications.
Beck is going to roll over on this nonsense and it will be business as usual.
Beck will re-organize the department but have no say on promotions, personnel.
Beck is going to prove to be a powerless dud that thought he was going to 'fix' the Chicago Police Department.
Do some 21st Century Consent Decree Policing math:
44% passing score + 30% Merit appointment + 5% CPS Preference = a 79 percentile qualification.
It the Chicago Sanctuary Way books, that’s a winner-winner.
Heck, CPS touts slightly less numbers as their social promotion graduation rate.
Go figure.
-
Merit is NOT gone.
It’s been shelved for the immediate moment and if that rumor of a 44% pass score can’t cut the diversity mustard, you’ll see lickity-split that Merit will be back in a snap.
-
Whoa! Just heard this:
Chollie “MyPillow” Beck created The Office of Constitutional Policing and Reform, appointing as its head Barbara “Pillows” West.
There’s a dozen more house mice huddled from the Crystal Ball SSL Unit awaiting to get those office chairs swapped from one floor to another.
No more 21st Century Policing, uh-uh, it’s Constitutional now!
Constitutional Merit !

I’ll be here all night. Be sure to tip your merits on the way out. But do it quietly. You don’t want to wake up Elgin holt.
44% this is a complete joke and a slap in the face to those who studied.
a monkey could score over a 44%
WTF , this is reform , consent decree
need two years of college and a 44% is passing
who will this idiot supervise , Charlie Beck if true , you are worse than EJ
The powers that be don’t want you to be smart. They want you stupid enough to follow. The downside is that these idiots that will eventually get promoted think that they are actually smart because they “passed.” Then in all their infinite idiotic wisdom they start doling out bad information or no information or guidance to the people they are put in charge of. It’s abysmal. If my sorry ass could leave now, I’d be out of here.
I think in order to become merit based on this score, you should at least be able to answer what percentage of the test questions you could get wrong.
Its a fucking disgrace,
With a score so low, it's possible that everyone passed.Any one who got less than 44 percent should be terminated for lack of job skills...
I’m truly disgusted at this. 44%!? Even in CPS standards that’s an F- - - (with a sad face wearing a dunce cap next to it)
I can’t wait to get my official score w/ minimum passing requirement posted next to it so that I can leak it to the media. This is an absolute embarrassment and should be known nationwide to qualify to be a Sergeant or Police in Chicago 44% score is acceptable. The merit and clouded continue to ruin this department.

I hope one of the questions wasn't, " Spell the rank for which you are being tested"
3 years ago an officer I know who is hard working, honest, fair and displayed a positive proactive mentality, was promoted by merit. He scored badly in the last Sgt’s exam and had his hard work and dedication not been noticed, he would of never became a supervisor. That Sgt is now in a busy district, and his troops/watch speak highly of him. I can say that this guy has stuck to his values and has made the best out of every situation he’s had. So being a bd test taker isn’t necessarily a good reason to disqualify someone. Stop being a hater and appreciate the good P.I’d that will make the guy and potentially serve the purpose of what a real leader should be. No one likes a fucking cry baby.
The first step in the new direction of CPD
What a joke
Social justice grading curve
44 percent, interesting. That’s roughly the same percentage of effort I put into trying to proactively catch members of the Commrunnnnnity! Actually, that number is honestly probably much lower. Best and brightest! Earned, not given!
Spradley news is old news. Same shit as Tact Lt. in 002. Tell me again why you feel compelled to work in Gang Enforcement, hard charger?

Beck, Lt Spradley is such an embarrassment to the District personnel and the Dept. Even if only half of the embarrassingly and just nutty things he does in public what does this say about his thinking process and poor judgement. He does these goofy antics in front of the rank and file too. He is a senior supervisor who held other positions of responsibility doing similar crazy stuff. Put this guy in charge of checking for illegal fishermen at Navy Pier and get a real Lt for the troops.

That's funny. So the girlfriend of a trooper told on him and he told on the others. He obviously wasn't keeping her happy. What a secret to hold over him, marry me or I'll tell and ruin your career!
But what did they really expect, it was an online portion of their testing and was supposed to be on the honor system. A must pass to go on with training and it was done online on the honor system? Really dumb idea. Bet no one in the upper ranks that thought of this stupid idea got canned or demoted.
They seem most concerned with the 130 violations the human ticket machines wrote as troopers. Come to the crooked county up north, CPD will take them. Yes, there are black, brown and white cheaters in this group of fools. Dumb is everywhere.
That is how you get your next generation of Commander Snellings.
Don't they know that people will find out and they will call them out on this?
"Welcome to the "woke" portion of the promotion Exam". "We promise dismally low standards then fail to achieve them".
"For most of you, we offer long hours, low wages, and virtually no chance of advancement".

So you are in favor of keeping the merit system, eh? I'm glad to hear he is a good supervisor but how many like your example are there in the world of merit promotions in CPD? I don't believe a person should be given such a bump strictly because they have a good attitude and are doing the job they are paid to do or due to some clout. And who makes that determination anyway? The system of merit breeds abuse and should be abolished. Sure there are people that are not good test takers that could make good supervisors and those that are excellent test takers might suck at being a supervisor. Still testing is the system, it's used all the way through school. Attitude can help people down the road but doesn't and shouldn't make up for doing very poorly in a test. People that aren't so good at taking tests have to adapt and try harder next time. Well not the guy that got the bump, he got his reward already. Of course the testing should be administered in a professional manner, fair and ethical with a quality test given. The results should be fast and accurate. But who am I kidding, this is CPD. And with types like Babs "Pillow" West in charge, one can't expect any positive change in future. The leaky, creaking ship carries on.
My question is why can't these scores ever be posted. They did it for city tests in the academy. Ohhhh that's right the talk of no merit is all a puppet show. Look at my right hand while the left is about to ram it in your butt. What a joke. You know it's all legit when in 4th grade we'd have scranton tests back in 15 minutes with grades,yet it takes months for them do a sgts test. Yeah all legit.

He’s a paranoid schizophrenic. Very weird. Don’t trust that dude. What how he cuts his eyes while talking and crip around corners.
The department ruined an opportunity to get quality supervisors.
I just feel that if your looking for professionalism in the department, officers should have to pass with at least a 70%. I mean your taking on the roll of a supervisor, it's bad enough the qualifications are 3 years on job and only 2 years of college. Again, I feel if your going to be a supervisor on this job, you should have to have a min of at least 10 years on, and a bachelors degree. You want professionalism this is where you start.
Ask Eddie Johnson about Oral Exams
Seems like he's an expert on examining and submitting the oral portion with his member
stop talking..........now ! im triggered. the test was hard ! very hard ! you needed a pulse...........and a zip code ! a city zip code ! im sooo tired now, wheres my jammys ?
