OT …. So tough taking Sgt baby K.H. 3rd watch unit 050 is finally on furlo relieving the troops of his shitty attitude and miserable demeanor. Maybe he should be more concerned about that plot of land he bought in Hawaii for $300K which
He can’t grow a dandelion on instead of whining to the troops in roll call about a previous post on the blog that was 100% accurate regarding the 63 team not taking weapons violations. Who’s complaining now ?

It’s sad… the Lts that I know that would make the best captains didn’t even put in for the spot. They’re so fed up with this department. The ones that we actually want to move up and deserve to move up, they see what actually moves up and are just as disgusted as the rest of us and just don’t want any part of it anymore.

Thank G-D that list for Captains is for TRAINING and does not guarantee a promotion. And yes, they can do that. Just ask Johnny G. who remained bitter till the end that he never got promoted. He blamed everyone else when all he had to do was look in the mirror to figure out why he never made it. CA is the only one on that list who deserves to be a Captain. I hope they make him asap.

I’m SMH at this set of promotions, especially in the Captain realm. Most of them were ranked by CPD’s board unqualified. Waller also made Captains in just two weeks of him being here. He made Nakia Fenner Eddie Johnson’s wife a Captain and just made Yvette Wooten who’s been on the Medical her entire Merit Lieutenant years. Blatant favors. You won’t believe who Wooten is connected to.

I made more than a captain for the last 11-12 years that I was on, all while having none of the responsibility and working what averaged out to half days. My only regret? Not sooner understanding what the old timers meant when they told me “kid, you gotta treat this job like it’s a whore”. Meh, better late than never.

(OT) so I called Credit Union asking them about a loan because I was going to build a home in Michigan. and they said yes we loan Chicago patrolmen so I told him it was a modular home. He said a modular home no we don’t loan for those because that’s not a home. modular home as people in the know and him who should know is a stick built home that is built offsite and assembled on site.It is not a trailer home, but this moron was clueless! So I went to fifth third bank who I don’t even have an account with immediately said no problem. Let us know how much you need. I guess a credit score in the 800s doesn’t do it for the Chicago patrolmen’s credit union. But if I wanna loan of 8090 grand for a. Cadillac I could get that.

Finally? Shemash/Potatoes is repaying her old partner Jason Barney for covering for her fuck up while she was in TRU as a young officer. If what she did back then happen today we all know where she would be and yes I have proof of her royal fuck up. Shemash was lucky that Ed O'Donnell was the commander for TRU and fixed her fuck up. The only reason why I'm posting this is because under your watch as commander in 12 one of her officers almost died under your watch and you should be taking care of him but you're not. Maybe I should reveal night at TRU? What do you think SHEMASH? Do the right thing help that officer like they helped you!

She has a long list of bosses including the one that put her in for merit Lieutenant. She was his CAPS Sergeant. She was the queen of use what you got and that’s all she’s got. She threatened all of them to do stuff for her and they did. She had domestic after domestic with coppers in 006 and 007. The bosses that knew knew. What a waste. She’s just going back on the medical as she normally does. Ask her what happened to her 3 fiancés. That’s laughable.

Just because you are given 20% for detective and 30% for sergeant and Lieutenant doesn’t mean you have to fill that percentage. The people who get put in for merit should truly deserve it…

1. You volunteered.
2. SWAT is physically demanding. Physically demanding does not equal "better police."
3. We all are constantly putting our lives on the line.
4. Kicking doors is not police work, ask any military veteran.
5. Hard police work is taking a case seeing it through, getting it charged and testifying to your work. SWAT may be a tool employed in that process but that's it.
6. You volunteered.

Honestly, I question the need for SWAT or atleast the need for full time SWAT.

Trak made merit Sergeant after threatening to sue for discrimination. He believes he is the most important person on the department solely for being the only use of force expert for the city. He will cry on the streets and be back at the academy, just like he has been for 90% of his career.

Why is SWAT not a priority for promotions? We are always putting our lives on the line and receive very few promotions for our unit. Is that fair? No other unit trains as hard as SWAT and receives very little support from 35th street. Im just venting before you blast on me. I just don’t think that is proper to be a full time swat team and have very little chance at getting promoted when you are constantly being on call and getting called out in the middle of the night.

Swat crybaby! You must’ve forgot what patrol was like. Study for the test and make it legit like I did. Have you no self respect? Crying like a baby to make a merit promotion. Man up.

OT,,,,that's 100% true about the 63 team! They do nothing and Good Luck finding them after
1900 hrs. The day team does more work thanks to a few hard working po's but Good Luck finding them after 1200hrs. We handle the calls / warrants while their Sgt says.....
"squad the tac team started early today" from home! LOL

If I were you I’d go back to pushing a beat car. The last time I checked SWAT was voluntary.

To you it’s voluntary, for those of us on SWAT…..it’s a calling.

Remember when police dial 911, SWAT answers the call. We are the last line of defense.

im actually suprised Jon Hein and Wayne De Vries are still on the job much less Deputy Chiefs. I worked with both of them LONG ago, both wernt bad guys, but DAMN, are they trying to do 40-50 years? They both were obviously much heavier than i realized.

JC has been a house mouse at 35th for years, first as a patrolmen in the old DOC. JC went on to get his first merit bump to sergeant. He then went to 007 as the CAPS sergeant almost immediately, shortly thereafter right back to 35th Street into the troubled buildings unit. JC must be an awesome leader because he now gets another merit bump to lieutenant. I guarantee he will be right back in a house mouse spot. Keep doing police work and putting your job on the line so guys and gals like him can keep getting promoted and hidden in nice quiet spots.

As a Sgt myself, I have a piece of advice for the new Sgts. Don't forget where you came from. Don't become what I believe the rank has way too many of, a bunch of self-serving narcissists who believe they are better than a blue shirt. Treat your Officers with respect. You'll find out that you won't need to tell them to do something. Ask them, and if you treat them with the respect they deserve, they will do it without you needing to tell them.
Don't look to drop paper on Coppers for nonsense. These Officers already have a tough enough job without a Sgt who wants to hammer them for nonsense.

I am shunned by other Sgts, been bullied and mistreated by my fellow Sgts, and not been invited to their club. I've been told that I need to graduate to a white shirt. Sorry, I'll stay true to who I am. You can have your club.

As a Sgt in a District, I love the SWAT Officers. I have nothing but respect for them. They've handled a few incidents for me. I believe they should be D3 considering the training and the risks.

Not a fan of Merit but I'd much rather see it go to one of them than a Commander's secretary.

I agree you guys are awesome. But even Marines eventually get rid of that boot camp hair cut. Thanks for keeping that alive? Hey can I get on the treadmill? You almost done?




PS: BJ is closing Homan so they might have you just pitch a tent in the forest preserve.

His daddy is his clout. His dad sits on the board of directors for the FOP and he has some affiliations with the CPD memorial foundation and the 19th ward Democratic Party.

But Lt. Nick Duckhorn pretends it is all legit. He is on his way to becoming a high ranking boss. Because he is so young.

He's a Northside chief, leave the Southside out of this.

Let me guess you heard that in a movie right? On a 10-1 (when an officer needs help
, cause we don't dial 911) it's patrol that answers first. Look bro, it is very impressive the process for SWAT. But that's it, the guys in blue answering calls everyday, the Detectives investigating that's police work! YOU VOLUNTEERED! STOP CRYING.

MG getting merit? They made a whole order about not tasing people from elevated positions after she chased dude through traffic and tased dude on a fence. Only on CPD can you f up so bad they make an order because of what you did.

You all crack me up how much LT. Stoppa is annoying. Was he ever the real police NO! However he deeply inside knows that.
But he is knowledge and would never hurt you. Stoppa is a unique soul but good boss who would never hurt the troops.

Wonder if any of these Sgts will be lucky enough to return to their specialized unit like Baz Khoushaba and then proceed to disappear during the day only to rutun and work overtime.
