In the wake of that phat pay bump Detectives got and Detectives moving to 10-hour days, and in light of oversight and ever-increasing responsibilities, there's less reasons than ever to take a promotion to Sergeant (like zero?).

Less reasons than ever to become a Sergeant means less Detectives will take those promotions.
Less Detectives taking promotions means less turnover in the D-Unit.
Less turnover in the D-Unit means less Detectives being made over the long-term.
Less Detectives being made over the long-term means if you didn't score in the top 300, study harder for the 2025 D-Unit exam.

This entire detective exam was a fucking scam. Part one was pass or fail. You just needed a score of 46 to pass.

Part two of the exam was a reading comprehension test and a memory test. Imagine two candidates enter the testing site. Candidate # 1 studied all of the orders, laws, etc... Candidate # 2 did not.

Both candidates would be on equal footing and both candidates would have an equal chance of doing great on the exam. How is that even legitimate?

On part two of the exam, they did not even ask all of the critical knowledge that a detective needs to know.

Hey genius tell me how you are going to study harder when you get three wrong and senority swing is over a hundred people? Obviously you didnt take this previous test. The ivory tower idiots should have at least made the test 200 questions to ruly test the knowledge of the officer not 48 questions

To all those youngsters posting shit, I sympathize with you. The system is broken and corrupted. I've known many "merit" picks, a few great, deserving ones. But mostly, clout hacks, or desk dollies, stealing from the pension in the form of higher unearned payouts. Especially, the entitled clowns with multiple bites from the merit apple!

This is why Almighty God made man and woman, and nothing else, and they are both made differently. Women can have a baby men cannot ever have a baby men can do things differently than women men are stronger than women. Women can’t be a Navy SEAL. Women were created for a purpose. The purpose was not to be like a man. The truth hurts, and we love women. Somethings women should not be involved in simple as that. I went to get a massage recently. I don’t want a man touching me so I chose a woman to do the massage in the hospital I do not want a male nurse. I prefer a female nurse that’s the way it is. When I’m doing strength training, and I need a spotter for the heavy weights, I prefer a man because a man is simply stronger and he understands a man’s anatomy when he’s working out , there you go some more truth

Get the message here boys & girls. They don't want hard workers. They have to put up with you, but they don't have to promote you into positions that show up their handpicked deadheads. The PLAN is to demoralize the working police and making them ineffective or entice them to quit. If you look at the "Blue Bastions of Calamity", they are making it more and more difficult to perform your duties and do the right thing for citizens without suspensions or becoming defendants in trials.

The proclamation is on hold until each of these strongholds cannot do the job or have enough personnel to fill the spots. Then the Federal Police will be replacing the locals. First on the agenda, YOUR GUNS! Elections have consequences.

I’m sick and tired of coppers complaining about promotions of other coppers who they say don’t do a damn thing on the street. News flash: those are the smart ones who deserve a promotion. If you are out there proactively being the police you are truly a dummy. I’ll go one better, you’re f***ing stupid and don’t deserve a promotion. So, STFU about the smart coppers and watch them. Take notes, learn and maybe you too will get a promotion. It will likely be meritorious because if you are out there “working” you are way to stupid to pass a test. Now time for me to go back in the hole and get my nap in before check off.

Good luck to the new Detectives. It’s the most rewarding job on the Department that requires the most work and takes on the most responsibility when done correctly. Victims in this city need you. Be committed. It takes some time to get comfortable. Don’t hesitate to fully take on the jobs you are assigned. Think outside the box. Take what you can from senior detectives and good ASAs. Talk to people. You have to make decisions so don’t be afraid to make mistakes. Never fear criticism. Ignore the nay sayers like the complainers posting here. Most of them will be dead while you are still putting bad people into prison.

Hilarious and sad that you think Larry is some honorable do-gooder who would never think to help his friends cheat their way to promotions. If the test exists, someone has a copy and will show it to their buddies to cheat. And that's exactly what the department and the city want, so they can sneak in enough people that fit the desired demographics without using merit for all of them.

These three have zero street experience combined. At least 2 of them are cocky, have attitudes and are alpha females. I'm sure these personality traits will hugely contribute to extracting confessions from the offenders and solve the unsolvable.

While I believe all promotions, merit especially, should come from people who have put in their time on the street, being shot does not convey instant investigative acumen

It’s not supposed to. It’s supposed to be a reward for surviving what is surely the worst thing you’ve ever had to encounter in your life, while doing this job. It’s the absolute least this city and job should do, but instead someone’s work piece or desk dolly gets it. It’s a tremendous smack in the face and one of the biggest reasons why morale on this dept is at an all-time low.

All merits should know that no matter what you do you’ll never get the respect of those that made it legit, sorry if that hurts but it’s the truth.

I’m sick and tired of coppers complaining about promotions of other coppers who they say don’t do a damn thing on the street. News flash: those are the smart ones who deserve a promotion. If you are out there proactively being the police you are truly a dummy. I’ll go one better, you’re f***ing stupid and don’t deserve a promotion. So, STFU about the smart coppers and watch them. Take notes, learn and maybe you too will get a promotion. It will likely be meritorious because if you are out there “working” you are way to stupid to pass a test. Now time for me to go back in the hole and get my nap in before check off.

It was proposed that Snelling be the only department member allowed to view the final draft of the Sergeant’s exam to prevent the rampant cheating by exempts. The not so bad idea was immediately shut down by all exempts present at the meeting. Larry do the right thing and don’t allow these cheaters to see the exam and pass it on to their friends. Merit is already a drag on the promotional system at 30%. For what reason does a random exempt need to see the exam other than to photo copy it and pass it on to their friends. Stop the cheating already.

Mariposa has been inside 5 out of 7 years. She has been a problem everywhere she has been. She tells everyone her aunt is P Casey. No wonder she scored on the test. She caused problems at 025 because she didn’t want to work 1st watch. She goes to HQ security desk with 2 yrs on on days…..then goes EAP then 128 she will cry to stay on days and inside.

Good luck to the new Detectives. It’s the most rewarding job on the Department that requires the most work and takes on the most responsibility when done correctly. Victims in this city need you. Be committed. It takes some time to get comfortable. Don’t hesitate to fully take on the jobs you are assigned. Think outside the box. Take what you can from senior detectives and good ASAs. Talk to people. You have to make decisions so don’t be afraid to make mistakes. Never fear criticism. Ignore the nay sayers like the complainers posting here. Most of them will be dead while you are still putting bad people into prison.

From the consent decree....
Improved recruitment, hiring, and promotional efforts – CPD must conduct routine
assessments to identify strategies for attracting, hiring, and promoting qualified
applicants who reflect a broad cross section of the Chicago community. CPD will make
its implementation plans publicly available.

"Promoting qualified applicants"....??? Or maybe they just used the "reflect a broad cross section of the Chicago community "? (See merit picks that worked in 006).
The monitor, if they care, might want to look into the merit picks. For example, all the people who just worked inside. From a work knowledge point of view. How can you get a merit pick as a Detective when you have been sitting behind a desk 90 percent of your career? Is there a way to look at the number of case reports an Officer has done in their career and what they were for? How can you conduct follow up investigations when you barely ever conducted preliminary investigations?

How do you go from being a schedule maker or flunkey for an exempt to an investigator of Robberies, Homicides, Sexual Assaults, Burglaries? I'm being serious.

Beat them at what? Even the most overweight and out of shape man could absolutely manhandle the average "strong" woman. It's just biology. You can work out all you want and be a ripped 150, but a 200lb man who never works out could instantly wrestle you to the ground or knock you out. You can't say you know how to fight unless you've actually been in a fight. Knowing how to fight doesn't mean you can fight. We need female police officers. We don't need female police officers who brag about how strong and tough they are and how they can beat men. You can't. You could be 100 times better at policing than a lot of the men doing the job, but when shit gets physical, you're immediately and incredibly outmatched.

The department is at about 241 rank order on the sgts list now and the next test is tentative in may/june. So believe it when the the department is that dumb.

it would of been better if the department guaranteed promotion for top 300-500. This would at least give people an opportunity to strive for top 300-500.
