$hit Floats to the Top

A few years back, someone released a "merit" list. This list was amazing for the one bit of data that no one had ever seen before. We don't remember if it was accidental, on purpose, or an internal document leaked to us from a source, but there was a column that showed how many spaces the undeserving had skipped to get promoted. 

Here's the link to the post back in 2018.

Here's the list (click for larger version):


We bring this up because of a comment the other day:

  • Doing a little research it is embarrassing to see how corrupt the merit process is and the damage it does later on. Both Arleiseiu “Nicki” Watson and Melvin Branch were promoted to merit Sgt after both being merit Detectives in 620. This is revealed in SCC post in September 2018. It was also revealed how many spots they moved up after getting their unearned promotion (Watson moved up 1982 and Branch 2069). They had promoted about 750 Sgts prior to this class. So these two scored near 3,000 on the test. Embarrassed right?

    Yet they are still given their second merit promotion when they obviously have no job knowledge. Fast forward to 2022 and both bomb or don’t study for Lts test. Again, both are given their third merit promotions to Lt. Watson in the first class and Branch in the third. Now both are Commanders. Can someone please explain how anyone is supposed to respect either one or the merit process??

    Branch’s merit sponsor was the current 1st deputy Bradley. Watson is family friends with Carter and was promised her command spot years ago.

Two "merit" detectives (passing 2,000 better test takers), become "merit" sergeants, become "merit" lieutenants," never passing a promotional exam high enough to earn a spot, now in a position to nominate the next generation of undeserving.

This is a problem and contributes to problems. Morale issues, of course (there is no list of "merit goals" one can strive to attain), but also undeserved and unearned pension bumps for a fund that is currently under 25% of obligations.

Sergeant JB jumped 1116 places. I always liked Sergeant JB when he was a PO, but his wife was a staff member for Jody Weis and that got him promoted. Not a reason to make him a sergeant when there were 1116 people better than him. But that pales in comparison to Sergeant AO who jumped 1838 spots after she legally changed her name to a cop killer’s name. She then repeatedly filed lawsuits and CR’s against multiple officers and supervisors constantly alleging she was the victim of gender and racial discrimination. The city settled one of her lawsuits by agreeing to promote her meritoriously. Sergeant AO shouldn’t be a police officer much less a sergeant. Absurd! 🙄

The test procedures for promotion are nonsense too. If it weren’t, anyone who wanted a copy of their completed and scored examination could requisition a copy, or even the original. But in reality, this is all about pension theft. The connected within the cpd have become a mafia with each behaving like Jimmy Hoffa.

Yeah, but Nik helped Eric Carter’s wife DJ Chyna become an AKA during her regression in life. Eric Carter recently became an Alpha at 50+ and DJ Chyna became an AKA after 50+. Dion Boyd (Rip), Jimmy Smith, and Rodney Hill helped EC and Ron Kimble get in. My husband made it in his own.

Nikki Ford Watson has always been a house mouse. She was the district’s secretary in 005, from there she got promoted to merit detective where she worked as an evidence coordinator on the inside, from there she made merit sergeant where she worked as an evidence sergeant in the D-Unit, she made merit Lt and now merit detective commander. Her mother used to be on the job, so she’s still riding on her coattail. I haven’t seen her in years, but one thing for sure she’s a friendly snake just ask anybody that knows her, know her.

Worked with FG in 002 and he is absolutely the best Sergeant I've ever worked with and without a doubt would deserve another bite at the apple. I currently work with EC in 015 and he's a great Sergeant and there are many more on this list that I have had the pleasure of working with that definitely carried their weight.

Years ago before the wheel was invented I was assigned to the old 12th district at 100 S. Racine. A sergeant on the watch was the dumbest SOB on the planet and could barely speak understandable English. His regular comment was "Don't do as I do's,do's as I say's". Merit wasn't around back then but some of you may remember that you could not put any identifying Mark's on your exam paper. No name, no star number, no employee number, nothing or your test paper was invalidated. A piece of paper about 3x3 inches was given to you and you put your info on that then used a small pin to attach it to you answer sheet. You then turned your test in at a desk as you left and they were just stacked on top of each other. How many tests were shuffled around to the right people? Merit just made cheating easier.

Watsons a clueless merit hack. As a sgt was openly racist to caucasian officers who did any ounce of proactive police work. Watson and R. Richardson were a hell of a dynamic clueless duo as newly promoted merit sgts. Gave a direct order as a sgt once to release a suspended and uninsured driver after the citizen spent the duration of the stop making obscene and disrespectful comments regarding the tragic LODD of Officer Gary and Officer Marmolejo. As a supervisor watson when to speak directly to the citizen before getting the basics details of what was going on from officers on scene. Then gave a direct order to the initial officers to release the suspended and uninsured citizen. Glad this is the type of fearless leadership that has floated its way to the top.

"Worthy promotees amongst them", so why couldn't they pass the test by score and do it the legit way. Doesn't mean every promotion by score ends up being a great supervisor but merits makes a joke out of the entire process. As do the super secret study groups. Skipping over others and their merit bumps need to be put on blast. But still it will never change.

It should be looked into that Nicki Watson never should have been eligible for promotion. She was under investigation by IAD at the time of the merit process by IAD ( how funny). She was the evidence coordinator and failed to anything with a Codis hit on a csa offender within 10 days. Several more people were raped while she did nothing with the evidence. She end up taking a 10 day suspension and got merit promoted at the same time. Ask anyone in A1 where she was working at the time and is now our Commander!!!!!

Sure there’s a sgt test that’s supposedly coming up, but if you don’t have any clout, you’re absolutely going to get screwed this time around. They are going to hand sgt positions to so many clowns who shouldn’t deserve to skip the line. opinion, the Sgt test should be offered every 2-3 years max and you have to score a 90/100 or better to move forward. Couldn’t hack it this time, you get another shot in 2 years. No reason why a sgt list, detective list, LT list needs to be thousands long, just do more test and require a higher/better score. But we all know why they don’t do something like this, certain people gotta get in.

I was in this Sgts class. I was Off the list. I was in the low 400s. You could tell some of the merits easily in class. Many didn’t show up, ate, took selfies and didn’t take notes during vehicle pursuit or TRR segments. The rest (non clouted) of us were scribbling notes as we knew we were going to be sent someplace shitty and might have to do a pursuit or TRR our very first night. I was hoping I wasn’t sent to a district with lots of merit Sgts as I didn’t want to have to do their work.

How about a few years back at Area Central when then Sgt Watson went up to one of the better detectives and said “ fuck you motherfucker” and pointed in his face. This happened I front of the entire 2nd watch and another Sgt had to intervene. The Sgt should have got a CR# on her but knew she was the Commader Brown s girl.

They had promoted 750 ( score plus merit ) already prior to this class so factor that in to their grand total score. How the fuck does Boyd warrant a merit promotion when she’s never done anything and scores in the 3,000s.

Also, the last test they took almost 900 on the list. Kind of funny how and why, the city wants this current list gone. It’s only been 2 years and they are already planning a test in March. It’s mind boggling that the city is ready to dish out money for a test again when they don’t have a shortage of sergeants. I wish the FOP would release how many places each merit supervisor skips. They have access to the list, post it you cowards.

Yes, I just read the comments by anon who said they had the pleasure of working with some of these merit promotees and found tham to be the best absolute sergeants they have ever had the pleasure to work with and without a doubt deserve another bite at the apple? Really? Is this person serious, totally blind to the realities, paid by some alderman to write this or just stupid? This system is a soul crusher and a morale buster and has kept down some equally find police officers who gave up their furloughs to study their ass off and still did not make it. There is no criteria for what is a merit. Everyone should know what it takes. Give everyone the chance. Being promoted up every rank based on corruption is one of the primary reasons the department is in the trouble that it is. To the fellow sergeant from a prior class, go FYU. You should not give up your promotion to an officer nominated by some commander as outstanding but is on the bottom of the list. Now that you have yours you are telling those cheated out ao bump to take it and like it

I really don’t care how nice a person is- it is still unfair to the people who studied and passed the test legitimately .

There's a few, a very scant few that got the Merit Promotion and actually deserved it.
Only ONE in my class.. Dude got into a pretty decent gunfight, took a round or two in the legs, IIRC, bad guy ain't around anymore.
Pretty good Cop, and no one has complained about him as a Sgt.
There's a few others off the top of my head, unfortunately it's about 1 every other class.

Just because you got hurt in the line of duty doesn't mean anything.
Sgt R O'N (thankfully retired out of gangs) got stabbed in the line of duty, and probably one of the dumbest humans to put on the uniform.
(Let's not feel sorry for him, he got stabbed with a fucking pencil....)

On the other hand, look as some off the list-
Last test, #2 Sgt JD and #3 Sgt JV are total fucking handjobs!
Who's the LT in 022, 1st Watch? That pud made it of the list for Sgt and Lt. Never done a fucking thing on this job, and probably let more bad guys GO than most of you have ever arrested.

That's why this department is garbage, you will have supervisors who have no experience on the street, doing legitimate police work other than hiding somewhere in a madeup/cush spot not knowing the job, political brown nosing and being "that guy/gal" they "like" for unknown reasons. You could be facing a termination or suspension, but HEY if you are the friends friend, big sloppy grease pan for a boss(es) and they like you enough they'll pull you from that gutter and get you promoted.

I think it’s pretty interesting how all of the targets of conversation look similar. IJS CPD and our Exempts, keep your head up and do your jobs. It’s plenty of us who support you and fuck these Florida retired bitter MFS. They ain’t got shit going for them and nothing to do. Especially Shabba Ranks sister retired worthless Gloria Hannah. I didn’t mean to throw one in there too but I could not help it. You’ll get enough of talking that crap in front of people, like we don’t know who you are.

Deenihan did not work one day in Patrol and was a Chief. McDermott went from a Commander to Chief of Patrol. They have the day to day control over crime and officers, not the Superintendent or Mayor. I’m just saying. These conversations are distorted.

Watson is destroying area 1. She doesn’t have a clue and her bread and butter is helping out with retirement cake and coffees.. yeah, the commander of a detective area is keeping herself busy by still trying to run the cake and coffees. You wanna know why????? Because as a merit detective, she wasn’t actually a detective.. she pretty quickly got an administrative spot. Then she worked in doing evidence coordination and her big job was doing the cake and coffees. When a big case hits, she doesn’t even know the right questions to ask the Lts and Sgts because she’s never actually lead the work on a big heater case… she kills morale, try’s to pretend what she’s taking about and making A1 a laughing stock.

"Posts like this kill me. All of these are bad but he is a “good guy” and deserving and the best, but the rest of them are crap. FOH I don’t care who got promoted by merit. I do care how many do their job and aren’t afraid to stand up for us blue shirts because we are the ones that get shitted on."

Interesting take considering at no point did I explicitly state that nor did I even imply that anywhere in my comment. Actually quite to contrary, my point was that they need to be taken on a case by case basis and not treated with a blanket "f#*k all merit". I offered a couple of personal examples from the list of people who I feel have shown their worth since their promotion, but it's not unique to them.


""Worthy promotees amongst them", so why couldn't they pass the test by score and do it the legit way. Doesn't mean every promotion by score ends up being a great supervisor but merits makes a joke out of the entire process. As do the super secret study groups. Skipping over others and their merit bumps need to be put on blast. But still it will never change."
*And*
"I really don’t care how nice a person is- it is still unfair to the people who studied and passed the test legitimately .
There should be a limit to the merit process - i can see a person not passing one test….but scoring low on multiple testsn and still being given a promotion is absolutely absurd.

This is the picture perfect definition of NEPOTISM!"
There are many who get promoted by Merit that are great Supervisors and who were great officers that just simply don't test well, but when the rubber meets the road they can make great decisions, take command of a major Incident, advise and look out for their Officers, and review paperwork with the best of them. The Merit process most definitely needs to be overhauled, but then again so does the testing process. There are people who get a damn near perfect score on Part 1 who bomb Part 2. There is some subjectivity involved in the assessment scoring process and if you just happen to get an assessor on a bad day and someone else gets them or a different assessor on a good day it can bump you up or down a fair amount. If someone as I described above aced the Job Knowledge portion of the test, but had a problem with speaking into a mic for Part 2 as opposed to being on the street making decisions and taking actions, gets promoted meritoriously.... a lot of the people commenting here would have us all believe that they're a complete idiot. And on the other side if someone barely passed the Job knowledge portion and somehow was really comfortable speaking into a mic and playing out scenarios in a booth, but has zero experience dealing with them on the street and when the rubber meets the road can't make a decision to save their life or the life of others... there are many in these comments that would praise the 2nd person over the 1st person because they made it on score and the first person made it from the Merit process. It isn't that cut and dry. There are good Merit bosses and there are bad ones. There are good Test Score bosses, and there are bad ones. There definitely needs to be more transparency and actual Merit needs to be applied during the Merit process to avoid the favors racket and nepotism, but it shouldn't be scrapped all together it just needs to be tweaked a fair amount. The same way the Merit process should offer those with great leadership skills, Job experience, and accolades the opportunity to lead regardless of test taking ability, Command Staff Selection should also be offering opportunities to those who aren't connected, aren't owed and favors, but have proven Job knowledge(Test Scores), Command and Leadership Skills so that The top ranks aren't made up of 85% prior meritorious promoted people and getting promoted 2 or 3 times by test isn't a career advancement death sentence as many perceive it currently.

Shhhhhh. Don’t go asking any questions or you might hear about JANELLE’S missing” gun that was used in a shooting by an acquaintance. Or that it was “missing” for days until it was recovered. Or that detectives were able to link that weapon to a crime only to have that same case torpedoed by one EDDIE JOHNSON…and gun was picked up and hand delivered back to JANELLE.

Anyone that knows her knows she is full of shit. Word on street is she “ranked” good enough to be in the running for making LT…..but you never know. Word also says “someone” may have put her in for merit LT because JANELLE can’t wait that long to make rank. She needs to make it sooner than later……

Two of the twenty- twenty five or so of the exempts that actually made it by score.
McDermott spent his ENTIRE CAREER in Patrol. Never been to a Unit, never been a house mouse. Commander to Chief- Assclown Brown made that move.
Deenihan- Detective or a small stint at IAD- and was a worker, his entire career.

Look at the other Gold Stars who actually made the promotions on their own, all workers.
So how are the conversations distorted?

Of course you can’t tell if she’s truly illiterate or trying too hard to sound hood. Like all good puppets, Traci Walker has had someone’s hand up her ass her entire career, starting with Big Mama Tina Skahill. Will she now be in the position her handlers have mapped out for her - to legitimize the sickening corruption that is rampant in this department? Putting a fraud like Traci in charge of IAD will pretty much confirm to all that the clouted can never be touched.

Speaking of Tina Skahill.. is big mama still here?

“Didn’t work a day in patrol”. Well, everyone worked in patrol for a few years including deenihan. As a matter of fact, if I’m correct he actually worked in patrol a little longer than our new supt Larry smelling but that’s besides the fact. Deenihan had an entire career in the detective division. He made detective young in his career by score. Made sgt by score. Pretty sure went to a district for a while then went back to D unit. Made Lt by score. Went to A2 as a homicide Lt. Did that for about 3 or 4 years then made commander and went to IAD for a little bit then was made commander of A/1. After commander of A1 made deputy chief of detective division. Then chief of detectives. So, you say that he shouldn’t have been in the detective division??? Ahh yes. Ok. You must have the David brown and Eric Carter syndrome. Let’s put a person qualified to run the detective division and put him in a district… and let’s put a useless merit mule like Dashae Blanton and Nikki Watson (with NO experience) in charge of the D Unit and major investigations.. brilliant!!! You see, good leaders put there people where they can be most effective. Carter instead took care of his peoples. He didn’t let McDermott or deenihan run a single thing or make a pick. This is why Carter was and is so hated. A micromanaging ego maniac racist who destroyed this department.
