Sergeant Test Rumor
Again, only a rumor:
- This is off topic, but I am assigned to headquarters and they are planning to restart the Sergeant's Test from the beginning. This makes sense since it has been around 9 months since Part One was given. That means that you will not see a new list for about two years.
2020 has been a disaster year all around. This "retest" would be stacked on top of other disasters. But in Groot's never ending quest for diversity quotas over qualified applicants who pass a test, sometimes you have to waste $4 million putting a new test together....never mind what people laid out for the Test Prep Classes with Bernstein and others.
Has anyone else noticed the big push for getting e-learning caught up and the 40 hours requirement being met prior to the end of the year? Supposedly, Brown got read the riot act by Groot regarding compliance numbers as outlined in the Consent Decree. Brown decided to suspend any command staff with compliance percentages under 90% at the end of the year.
Again, this is a rumor. Anyone posting "this is bullshit" or similar will be deleted. R-U-M-O-R. It's in the title. It's in the post labels. It might be a complete fabrication. We get it.

Well then, can we get a refund for the cost of the first test we had to pay for?
Not sure How a delay in testing affects overall job knowledge. You still have to have a grasp on how things work unless you're the magical merit who gets to write their name only and leave. So a dealy in parts isn't an excuse to restart anything. If true sounds like the 9 month excuse is to get these morons who couldn't pass the first part another shot. God we are doomed.
Who the fuck wants to be a sergeant in today's world? Fuck that, too close to retirement from this shithole.
Question: I didn’t take the test, but didn’t they charge a fee? Can’t someone raise holy Hell just for that alone. All the time in the world they could’ve prepared an online test. They could’ve opened up literally dozens of test sites at Public schools to keep the b.s. social distancing “rule.” My guess is whoever was in charge with this task, basically took the last 6 months off “working” from home.
They need more time to figure out how to “pass” more diversity.
So Brownie is convinced he’ll still be employed by Groot at the end of the year? More than likely, groot threatened him so he’s passing it along, but she has plans for him.
I’d love to see his employment contract. I’m sure that Fkng bch wrote it and he will be lucky to get out of town with a recycled Walmart bag and his dirty undies.
Go Brown!
when will they promote all of the Sgts to raise us to the consent decree numbers?
Yes, Watch Commanders and Sgt's have been down out throats like Debbie in Dallas about getting e-learning modules done.
No contract no E learning. You do have some power. Use it.
No tests all. Look at the recent list for explosives k9. Explosives list has been gone through. The peoole they promoted for the next class came off the patrol dog list. Seperate applications for both positions and seperate lists for both positions. Anyone of the 100 people who got an interview and whose name didnt even make it on the explosives list should file a greivance now.
Mayor BugEyes is in a total freefall. The only challenge she has had in her life is her height. She is not up to this.
You should see some of the people that will be coming off the old list. Please give Part 2 ASAP. Some of the sorriest people on this job.
Rumors, why would they put another test together when they can’t figure out how to put part 2 together and start all over when they can’t figure out how to put part 2 together. They should simply use the scores from part 1 for promotions. Part 1 was fair, recorded on scantron sheets and graded by computer. Throw part 2 out because that’s where the scandals come in. Part 2 is always questionable and always will be. People are prepared to file a lawsuit regarding part 2 already.
BJ EJ rushed part one past the monitors. They were pissed.
I’m sure if you paid for Bernstein there’s no refund, but you can pay to take another study course for this new version of the exam!
New ET list came out. Get ready new ETs for a unit run by an ET.
Arbitration NOWWW!!!!!
This is NOT a rumor - Brown went all “bad parent” on the Bureau Chiefs and threatened them with getting dumped if they don’t comply with the consent decree. Now that’s fine as a concept. However, since the department has no idea what it’s doing as to the consent decree it’s just another sign of Brown being the clueless mope that he is.
Who the fuck wants to be a sergeant in today's world? Fuck that

Me.
Retiring in a few days and will be getting $8000 @ month by 1 January.
Being a sergeant was great.
Beats pushing that Beat car kids.
Well then, can we get a refund for the cost of the first test we had to pay for?
You want the $20 back or the 2900$ Birdstain study guide. I’d like both refunded as Birdstain didn’t help alot plus I now have the actual test in front of me so no worries there.
Does anyone know the current sergeant number? I think the current Lietenant number is 214?
how long was the delay between parts I and II of the CFD Lt exam. If memory serves, it was more than a few months; more like several.

What’s there to actually grieve? Both k9 spots each make D2 pay. If someone got a patrol dog before but would rather have a bomb dog, oh well, that’s too fucking bad. Get over it.
How high up on the lists should we go? Promoting people who scored near one thousand is like bringing back merit. Ridiculous. In at least 20 plus years, I don’t believe any promotion list went this high.
Have all these things the city is doing been okayed by Facebook, Twitter and Google?
Sergeants job worst job on the Department
When you signed up, paid, and took Part 1 that formed a contract between you and the city. Now they want to eliminate a a part of the agreement without your consent. I say Lawsuit! What say you F.O.P.?
No contract means no E Learning. You my friend are a moron. E Learning can be tracked and you can be disciplined for it. But hey you probably one of those guys that are smarter then everyone else. Good luck with the rest of career pal. It’s going to be a long road. Choose you battles wisely. Training is not one of them.
My 950 score is looking good!! 😂
You should see some of the bozos who are close to making Sgt now. Please give a new test before we get some of these psychos in the district.
I want a refund for my test fee and McCormick Place parking fees.
I'm ordering my uniform's now so I'll be ready when I'm appointed by merit.

Sgt test?
You mean like they’re finally gonna test sergeants... like for competency, on general knowledge and feats of strength?
It’s not that difficult just go off part 1 of the latest test. Do another test in a couple of years when things settle down.
Even though part 1 is "pass/fail" everyone received an individual score. IF the city scraps part 2, can the individual scores be used from part 1 to promote? Does anyone know?
Honestly, in my 20 years on the job. It is my personal and humble opinion that the last group of promoted Sgt’s were some of the best Sgt’s we had in our district from the list. Out of the 4 we got 3 are surprisingly good the other is a do nothing.
being a sgt is great pay but in my first 2 years as a sgt ive been sued 3 times for shit i wasn't even a part of. goes with the territory
When we get around 1000 on the list are we reaching those who would make excellent supervisors, but just don’t test well?

I agree, the cheaters were already promoted. They were somewhere between 1 and 300. The command should go to about 1200 on the list. That’s where the good pickings are.
What number are they on on the sergeant’s list? We need about 500 more sergeants, no merit.

... you have a point. They should make at least 500 off of the list, because merit help to knock them out.

That’s because the cheaters were promoted first and the list is finally reaching the solid workers.

They should, but the city will never scrap part two. That’s where the cheating takes place. Everyone who score above 70 should be promoted.

It’s simple, if you failed part 1, then you failed but, if you scored 70 or above the city should promote you just for studying all of that crap.

.... So be it and he should because it was the Bureau Chiefs who put these idiots commander in place knowing that they weren’t qualified.
I did not take the last sergeants exam, because I wasn’t keen on how part 2 would be administered.
My decision not to take the exam was based on what was delineated by the city as the testing process.
The city cannot simply change the process in the middle.
Had it been made clear before registration that it would be part 1 only, I would have taken the exam.
If the city goes that route, my attorney is already excited to get involved.

Good luck to everyone who is planning to sue over the test. Especially the people who did not even take the test. Let us know how that does not work our for you and how much you paid your lawyer to not do anything for you. You guys have been watching too much court on television and the movies. I would have played the lottery if I knew the winning number. I did not play the lottery, but because the number that I would have used came up, I am suing.
They are going to restart the test. Get ready to start from scratch.
Wasn’t it posted a few months ago that there was a FOIA request and 87% of the people who took part one passaed since the passing score was around 55%. So what’s the point of another part 1 when they are going to lower the passing score to ensure another 87% is going to pass. I guarantee you if the passing score was 70% (like the testing company always suggested) We’d probably only have around 500 people pass this last test. Not too many people scored over 70 that I know.

Well let that test date be Next yr in December. Too much happening in the world at the moment thru 4th of January
70% should’ve been passing in the first place. If so, 500 would’ve passed and the city would only have to figure out how to put 500 candidates through part 2, but the city wanted a larger pool so they made 55% the passing score. This is the only department that lowers the passing score under 70%.. Candidates who didn’t study passed part 1.
500 more off of the old list. Come onnn!
What number are we on on the list?
In Texas, New York, Californa, etc. the passing score is 70%. Why on earth is the passing score 55% in Chicago?
