Lt Elizabeth Collazo to Commander 014

-----------

Smart, cool headed.

No clout. Probably promoted because a F/4.

That's alright with everyone who worked for her because she's a 1st class lady.

What ever happened to the previous commander/blue shirt who "commanded" the mayor's detail? Was it Felipe Garcia? Where did he finally land? Not asking for a friend because grunts like me have no friends.

Interesting.
First a notice from the department/city:

Subject: Downtown Daily Deployment

Good morning,
Please be aware that BOP 20-0146.04 published yesterday regarding the Downtown Daily Deployment is NOT a detail, it is an assignment.
As such, there is no premium pay for a sergeant for going out of area or for being detailed for any reason.

Lt. Cxxxxx Mxxxxx
Commanding Officer
Office of Operations - Administration, Unit 142

Then, a day later from the sergeant’s association:

From the Sergeants Association:

We have filed a class action grievance for the downtown detailing.
If you are sent out of your area submit a slip for premium pay.
If you are denied, make a note of it and the person who denied you.
We will need that information if / when this grievance goes to arbitration.

SO . .

Once again the fucked up merits running this shit show will cost the taxpayers a SHIT LOAD of money down the line !!!

Wait is the Collazo from 004? This is the problem with this dept. Didn't deserve to be made commander. Steps down, which is fine if you think its not gonna work out. But then you and the dept think it's fine to get it when it's convenient for you. Honestly clout or not you step down you should go to the end of the line. Will be a deputy in 2 yrs watch.

Is Brownie getting rid of captains finally? Been talk about it for a long time and hoping finally they get rid of this pointless XO spot. I notice that a lot of districts don’t have captains, haven’t had them for a while, and don’t seem to be getting replacements for ones that leave/retire. Are they getting rid of the spot by attrition? If anything, put them back on the watches. Having an XO is just ridiculous. The cmdr pawns his admin work on the XO and that’s all he does, if that. Total waste of money and manpower.

Agreed with Harold Lewis. Worked with him in 007 on the 769 team years ago. One of the most diligent, competent, and disciplined police officers that I have ever met. Some might be upset with the jump in rank, but Harold is the real deal. A standout on this department full of misfit merit promoted bosses. Makes over promoted Snelling look like a fifth grader which is the sad truth. Most that made it legit don’t hold a candle to Harold as a gentleman and genuinely great human being with outstanding leadership skills. Glad to see him as a boss.

It's no surprise when a Caucasian gets promoted whether, they are qualified or not because whites are the majority.

Government agencies are UNDER PRESSURE to find well qualified minorities and women to hire and promote.
And furthermore, if they are not quite as well qualified as a white candidate with no clout, the minority/female candidate will be promoted over them. (ie; Barb "Pillows" WEST)

Have you ever heard of the 1995 Chicago Fire Exam lawsuit?

U.S. District Court Judge Joan Gotschall actually stated that it is a well-known fact by various studies that African Americans DO NOT DO WELL ON WRITTEN EXAMS.
Basically, the judge stated that city has to give them the Fire job because of their race as well as up to 20 years of back seniority.

With every promotion on this job you can bet race, gender and sexual orientation are considered.
