Promoted for What?
As a follow-up to the Fingerprints post yesterday, a few helpful readers reminded us that under the current "leadership," numerous officers were
- promoted to Evidence Technician from the list,
- given generous pay raises as negotiated for specialist-type jobs,
- and then immediately went to work inside as timekeepers, secretaries, etc.
Jobs that could be filled by:
- lower paid (and not over trained) officers or
- even lower paid civilians
Seems kind of wasteful to spend money to have a test, spend money on training, and pay extra in salaries and increase the pensions for a job that none of these officers will ever actually do. Of course, they are mostly girlfriends, wives or pin cushions of assorted exempt members, so there's that.

You forgot THEY GET EXTRA POINTS ON SGT EXAM like CPS students on CPD entrance exam
Next you'll tell me that some test-takers had the answers for the last ET exam in advance.
Just like the female et that is a timekeeper in homan square and makes her own hours?
WOW!
This would be soooo EZ for an investigative reporter to break a CPD scandal.
Good thing for all involved , Chicago doesn't have any investigative reporters.
Kathy Boehmer had a lot to do with that. Her girlfriend and secretary from 019/023 each promoted to evidence techs and have never left the building . Never mind processed a scene!
Total BS. Put these chosen ones out picking up shells off shooting scenes.
Shh, time has stood still in Unit 177. Nice unit if you have friends, who have friends. Nothing to see in this unit?
I wouldn't want civilians having knowledge of my personal information, for obvious reasons

As Police Forensic Investigators (making Sgt pay) retired the chosen were made PFIs. How many of the new PFIs have inside spots and do not process homicide and police shooting scenes?
I thought it was just us here in 166. Still wondering why we have a few FTOs here.
Karen Brown. Boardwalk Empire.
What a shit show!
Brownie is a Texas Lizard.
Green and cold blooded.
Is "pin cushion" a lower rank than "side piece"?
Just checking.
In the hierarchy I suspect "wife" is a lower rank than "girlfriend".
They should be honest and put the title on their badge.
Speaking of promotions this new commander in 15 is horrible
She walks around 15th district like a warden from prison. She was promoted even after she set a house on fire and the Cr is hidden by the many ranks of old crew. Somebody find that CR number
How dare you set a house on fire because you’re angry
There is also an ET assigned to the academy who did breathalyzer courses once a month and another assigned to Info Services who ran the video stuff.
I’m sure there are a lot more
Isn’t staples’ wifey assigned there? Gets her meritoriously promoted to Lt., then lo and behold, she’s assigned to forensic services with no experience. This after sitting inside as a house mouse at sgts pay. Yeah, I’ll work hard for this place.
Fuck You!

Some of the biggest f-ups in the Dept. are in Unit 177.
The best service from the ETs was when they worked out of districts. They couldn’t get lost and everyone knew where what they were doing all day. Many quit because they didn’t sign up to do any ETing. They wanted to be like the old unit the ghost unit.
Nothing changes but the leaves on the trees.
Now, kees me you fool!!!!
If it involves more money, power or influence, and it's within Chicago's jurisdiction, it is already corrupt and run by our patronage system. it's systemic and goes deep to the bone. Any attempt at reform is symbolic at best, and it really is the greatest show on earth. Dogs and Pony's need not apply, this is the "Big Time". More Popcorn please...
The promotional system is rotten to it's wet, stinky core.

Jesus Christ, not all ET's need to process crime scene evidence. Can you leave us alone.

What a joke this corrupt department is. WOW
It never fucking ends!!!!

There is numerous forensic investigators working inside that have never processed a crime scene place is a joke.
The City That Works......... doesn’t.
What, mismanagement? I’m shocked !
Same in the Det Div. Same with Sgts. Same even in Patrol.
Street Life People and then there’s the Chosen.
Some of these more sensitive positions should be handled by experienced sworn personnel, not everyone has the desire to do field work but we all know someone who’s made a career as House Mouse.
Admin spots should be entirely Bid limited to 20 yrs of service, paid below D-1 without duty availability benefit.
In the age of inclusivity...
“ Of course, they are mostly girlfriends, wives or pin cushions of assorted exempt members...”
- What about boyfriends, husbands, bears or power bottoms with assorted members?
C’mon man. You know that thing !
The right way. The wrong way. The Chicago way.
And that why I retired, the bs on the streets can be expected, the bs inside CPD is just too much.
Get rid of all these young able bodied young dollies working inside and replace them with retired cops who know how to work and will show up to work without moaning about kids an all the BS reasons for not making it to work.
They are kind of like the Lt. Wines ECT...
I remember evidence technician, as one of the careers listed on for profit college commercials, especially with Sally Struthers saying "Do you want to make more money?". Gunsmithing was another career choice.

This is actually a really good idea. After all, with all the o.t. theft going on in those inside spots it only makes to have an ET processing it!!
RE: PROMOTED FOR WHAT?...
..."Of course, they are mostly girlfriends, wives or pin cushions of assorted exempt members, so there's that."
For those so chosen by their sponsors, the acronym ET stands for "Extra Tail"
We have WAY TOO MANY inside spots held by "officers" that could easily be done by civilian. How has this never changed? Why is "Station Security" still a spot? Come on man!?!? Also, whats with the officer who basically got off probation and now works in the front office in I belive 015?
This is so infuriating to hear. I have been hoping and wishing that I drop down low enough on the list to make it in before I retire but doesn’t seem like it. While I am ready and willing to go out there and process scenes, I have to keep hearing these stories of those who knew someone to get in and then went inside and stayed inside. I don’t know anyone and don’t have that phone call so I guess I will keep on sitting at scenes for hours because there are only a few ETs working citywide....
As a former E.T., this post is spot on!
A simple list of all ET's and # of scenes processed per year should quickly show where the deadwood is.
Add in cases lost for improper processing / total cases processed for additional insight.
Publish the list, take the worst 10, 5 or even 3 and see who promoted them.
Open data could clean up a lot of things post-haste.
Herb keeler has the answers
Just have the Beat car pick up the shells, snap a few photos with department phone and go spend 4 hours in station completing upload and inventory.
It all of those civilians are as low paid as you think, they get benefits they would blow your mind too
A fucking disgrace. In a Dept. thats hard to stand out for disgraces.
Great for morale these assholes are ain't they? It will never be cleaned up with groot running the show. she's just another hocus pocus swamp Democrat creature with her minion's following her for the crumbs.

You are 20 years behind in that argument. Secretaries and time keepers have personal info. White pages, banks, ISOS, credit card companies, mortgage companies, schools if you have kids have just as much or more info, just to mention a fewNot to mention the internet. What’s the timekeeper going to do? Tell the world how many hours you have on the books.
Speaking of "Promoted for What?"
10 detectives to be sent to summer mobile to write blue cards. Excellent use of resources.
Lots of house mice!
12:16 AM When you run Torture Central you can set
your own hours. Has Brown toured the basement?
Brown can handle symmetric crime (one robot, one target.)
He can't handle the asymmetric stuff.
Academics baffles him. He dropped out first semester
college (actually, the easiest). Supposedly to fight the
crack epidemic in his own hood. (BTW, I'm buying that
all the way, Brownie. Keep up the P.R. What to watch for
next: Brownie uses no vacation/sick days, then resigns
shortly before Thanksgiving. He uses the leave to get
his checks like clockwork until 2020 is over.)
This is nothing! 019 now has a Social Media Officer. The Facebook police. Someone is too scared to work the streets so she can post on Facebook all day.

Keep it going SCC, that place needs to be exposed for the BS that goes on there. The don't know anyone step children work their asses off at crime scenes while the entitled pick their asses and never work a scene.
"...Can you leave us alone?..."
Oh oh. Boo Boo Kitty time.
Don't mob Tony R will make his last moves to promote the Dillions and Burkes allmof his cousins. Remember CPT Jan Robert's

No they can tell all their play relatives the address to go to to do little things like burglary, car theft/ carjackings, assaults, batteries, criminal damage to property and probably a few more nasty things, like arson or murder, etc... is that up to date??? Wasn’t it not that long ago, (not 20 years) that a couple of mutts were caught with a container of gasoline at a Copper’s house?

Maybe the FTOs get consideration to entice them to take the FTO test?
One of the people I worked with told me that “his guy” offered him the ET spot, but he turned it down, thinking that it’s too much work!
He was holding out for a detective spot, easier and less work. I thought he was bullshitting, but he made dick.....
Nothing surprises me anymore;)
Who’s registering sex offenders ? Are they still shut down ? What about all those gun offenders who are supposed to register ?
Brown was recently given a list of officers not assigned to field duties. The list included every house mouse position. Detectives, E.T., PFI, every position. City wants to save money and get the mice back to work.
most required to wear knee pads , for inside assignments
FTO , not ET receive extra points on sgt test
Hey SCC, I sure would like to know how only forensics is exempt from the city of Chicago’s sworn hiring plan? Not one of those inside spots (firearms, laser, photography, evidence eval) was filled by the requirements of the departments hiring plan. No admin message was posted or a pool of qualified applicants made. How is the commander able to get away with it?

Don’t believe it. The same commander or boss that sent his or her list made sure the house cats weren’t on it. Bet on that. Front office, secretaries became footposts or special assignment car. Timekeeper will be 06 car. They will find a way to keep them off the list and Brown will be happy thinking he put everyone back on the streets
Why were the inside ET’s, especially front office one with no time on, Samantha C. been inside her whole short career, able to scam working the 12hr days, while never having to go out to help at all? How much of that time was spent working out and and standing in the hall twirling her hair being useless like always? The timekeeping spot should be gone whenever Karen R. decides to come back from why ever she is off now, again.... . Kisses the Lt’s ass so comes and goes as she pleases when she happens to actually be there for prob 3 hours a day. Where was she during the 12hr nonsense? Btw that “extra point” stuff is for FTO’s only.
It’s funny how people come on here to complain about the female ET’s inside when the reality is there are actually way more male ET’s who work inside in total. The gun lab, laser, photo, all filled with male ET’s. And those are the crazy OT spots. Plenty of them went in right after training as well. That being said I do agree there should not be 3 secretaries in the commander’s office who are all ET’s especially when one has the least seniority in the unit, like 7 yrs on maybe, and has made a career of being pregnant so she can stay in. I could see 1 maybe but not 3 and 2 of them are deadweight for sure.
Send ETs back to watches in the districts

Hey dumb dumb look at all the female ET’s working the desk approving inventories or working crime lab desk. Case closed move along dummy!
Id love to here the explanation that HK and ET keating are gonna say why they need a take home car when they probably go out to one crime scene every 2 years.

They don't care about the money. They care about getting the Reverend's people in in good patronage jobs.
Business as usual in the inner sanctums of the cpd/.

If Brownie was really wanting to put everyone back out on the streets...
Have COPA or BIA/IAD follow each individual thats detailed to those 06 or SAC or Footposts jobs.

The department should throw that entire new command team in the garbage.

Exactly, this is why they should promoted from within. They are running circles around Brown.
