Command Changes "Official"

This had leaked out a few days ago, but the Press Release is dated Friday, 01 Sep. 

Either Fred's last favors or Larry's preliminary moves:

  • Cmdr 017 Jesse Alvarez from Cmdr at BOP
  • Cmdr 020 John Baier from Cmdr at Counter Terrorism
  • Cmdr 003 Melvin Branch from Lt in GIS
  • Cmdr 1st Dep Office Galen Caldwell from Cmdr at Special Functions
  • XO Area 3 Elizabeth Collazo from Cmdr 014
  • Cmdr CAPS Karla Johnson from Lt in Superintendents Office
  • Cmdr Constitutional Policing Sean Joyce from Cmdr 022
  • Cmdr 022 Brian Kinnane from Lt in 022
  • Cmdr Special Functions Thomas Lamb from XO Special Functions
  • Cmdr 014 Melinda Linas from Cmdr Constitutional Policing
  • XO Area 1 Brendan McCrudden from Cmdr 020
  • Cmdr Inspection Division Patrick McKenzie AND Community Safety Intervention (too bad he doesn't get double paycheck for double commands)
  • Cmdr 015 Carlin Morse from XO 020
  • XO Area 4 Andre Parham from Cmdr 015
  • Cmdr 002 Yakimba Phillips from Cmdr Constitutional Policing
  • Cmdr Criminal Network Group Joshua Wallace from Cmdr 002
  • XO Area 2 Rodedrick Watson from Cmdr 003
  • XO 007 Darwin Butler from Lt 003
  • XO 019 Terrance Forbes from Tact Lt 016
  • XO 018 David Koenig from Tact Lt 018
  • XO 012 Thomas Ryan from Tact Lt 012
  • XO 020 Fred Ulleweit from Lt 020
  • XO 010 Nick Zodo from Tact Lt 010

The Department isn't top heavy at all, what with Constitutional Policing having at least two commanders who got lateraled around.

Constitutional Policing is a bureau with many units beneath it including the training division, inspections, compstat, TRR/ISR review, community policing, etc. so it kind of makes sense for certain units to have their own commanders. Perhaps Lts can handle those spots. What you have to look at is the chain within each unit. Why does community policing need two civilian directors and one commander to supervise about 40 bodies?

Executive Officer (XO) is a position, Captain is a rank.

For example, the "top boss" of a district is a position called a "Commander", and it is filled by a rank of Commander. The second in charge, right underneath the commander is held by a position called the executive officer, which is filled by the rank of a captain.

You can change the name to Yolonda Talley and it's almost the same meteoric rise of meritorious positions. As a matter of fact, after Talley got promoted, Karla Johnson took her spot. Maybe the inside HR people need to be rewarded for keeping their mouths shut about the promotion system. We are screwed.

They had to get KJ out of CPIC because she didn’t know anything about joint operations. The couldn’t keep her in the Supe’s office because she talks too much. CAPS was a better fit because CAPS already have PO’s, sergeants, lieutenants and a Director. Now she can spend more time on the telephone all day like she did here.
