Suspension on Tap?
It's always the same assholes:
Investigators have found that a high-ranking Chicago police official should be suspended in two separate disciplinary cases — one focusing on inflammatory comments he made about Palestinians’ treatment of gay people and another hinging on the improper disclosure of juvenile criminal records to a top mayoral aide.
In each case, the Chicago Police Department’s Bureau of Internal Affairs has recommended that Area 1 Deputy Chief Don Jerome should be suspended for 28 days.
No idea why he'd take fourteen days for saying that "palestinians" would cut the heads off of gay people - they do it all the time and post pictures on social media....if they aren't throwing them off of buildings that is. Just because the truth is uncomfortable doesn't make it not the truth.
The other fourteen days are more deserved - handing off juvenile records to one of the eight "deputy mayors" - but that's what political animals do when told to by other political animals. When told to jump, they ask, "How high...and should I whistle while I do it?" If Don didn't provide the demanded material, they'd find someone who would provide it and put them in Don's spot.
Don was hired in 1994, so he's maxed out - odds are that he leaves before missing two paychecks.

Don is a policeman. This is absolute nonsense. A 30 year working cop who tells the truth. Shame on BIA -
I know Jerome has his share of fans and haters, but I'll just throw my experience with him into the mix. He showed up to two of my jobs while he was a Lt, and the shitheads immediately went running to him to cry about how I wasn't handling their situation properly. He, not really knowing much about me as a newer officer to the district, completely backed everything I did, and made it clear that those whiny shitheads were in the wrong and would be even less happy with how he would handle things if they didn't like how I was handling it. I appreciated the backup, support, and confidence he showed. It's what you'd expect and hope for when a supervisor shows up to your job, but not always what you get. I hope this all works out for him, and wish him well in the future.
Not sticking up for the guy, but,
He’s a gold star. Deputy Mayor asks for something, are you going to tell him “no sir, he’s a juvenile, we can’t do that.”?
Sorry to say, but he’s outlived his usefulness to the Department.
Run Don Run💨
I know another Deputy Chief who did worse and got nothing. Yes! Everyone knows about it!
He is maxed out for time but is he maxed out at deputy chief pay? If he is then he goes. If not then he’ll take the 28 day hit on the chin, make that up and then retire. Question is what “qualified” person will get his spot?
“Don was hired in 1994, so he's maxed out - odds are that he leaves before missing two paychecks.”
Doubt it.
He’s another power hungry narcissist at his core, as evidenced by how he routinely conducts himself. An egomaniac thru and thru.
Whether muslims hating and murdering gays being common knowledge isn’t the point. Knowing your audience and conducting yourself appropriately IS the point. Especially on this job. And especially in the capacity of the rank of commander.
DJ KNEW his audience that night consisted of that sergeant. He should’ve kept his big mouth shut. But not only could he not do that, he went out of his way to antagonize and try to intimidate the sergeant afterwards. He should’ve immediately been demoted to civil service rank of lieutenant for that stunt.
And how quickly people forget this is the same dickbag who went ghetto, posing for a selfie with some hood rat at one of the many Mexican parades, reportedly exchanging phone numbers with her as she hung out of the bed of a pickup truck. THAT is how a commander of police is supposed to act?
People also forget he was instrumental in helping Eddie Johnson out of a slam dunk DUI. Glad he caught days for that disgusting display of corruption. He should’ve been demoted for THAT debacle, but yet remained in his position.
So while I’m not alone in wishing we could bid “good riddance” to this sorry excuse of a “leader”, I predict he ain’t going anywhere. I hope that I’m wrong.
There are days that you eat the bear and there are days that the bear eats you. This is one of those days the bear eats Jerome. Oh well, won’t be the last time a boss steps in shit of own making.
The purpose of this job is to secure a pension and medical benefits and then LEAVE. Too many exempts and members have spent so much time goofing off down the years that after reaching 30+ years, they’re still on the job goofing off.
Just because something is the true, that doesn’t mean that it should be said while you’re on the clock and in uniform. Exempts should know better.
The way the IAD sandbagged Nieves to take his spot, DJ should’ve known better.
Jerome has always had a hard time keeping his big mouth shut and that goes all the way back to the Englewood days.
It amazes me how many fake Republicans there are on this job. Each of them have ties to Democrat politicians. This is true in the 11th, 13th and 19th wards.
He'll be okay , this man writes officer's up and not approve days off request ; now it's time that he gets a taste of his own medicine.
Overlooking Johnson DUI...check
Exchanging phone number with girl at Mexican day....check
These two issues of juv arrest and beheadings are nothing burgers.
I vote he stays as a2 deputy. I don’t want to commute there everyday.

Don doesn’t know how to keep his mouth shut, you can’t speak your mind even if it’s true. The Sgt is actually a decent guy he’s one of the handful of supervisors left in the district that looks out for the troops very humble and will back you all day
I know a Chief that can top the both of them. I see her each day and do my best to avoid her.
Sgt AZ is a complete soft tool . Keep posting your IG shit while the fight goes on back home . Like a lot of Americanized Palestines talk a big game while they are comfortable here with free speech.
Anyone know if the Sgt who got the # on him is still recording people ? Still recording search warrants ?
Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt
Don's mother has a tattoo that says "Son"
You complain about Don helping Eddie Johnson on a DUI.Ok, you are entitled to that position but know that Don has helped policemen get out of jams his entire career. I remember him helping a patrolman get out of a similar beef years ago when he was a Sgt.in 019. Know that it’s not just other bosses that he has helped out over the years.
If he drops down to Captain now, he as to give 30 days notice to get the "Age 55 to 59 Insurance deal". That would put him past 31 December meaning it's too late. He would have to wait til 01 May to get the deal.
Remember, white shirts only get the deal 01 May through 31 Dec with 30 days notice.
I have so many questions. Which deputy mayor. Because just like deputy chiefs, we have several of them. So the Deputy mayor didn’t come to his aid? Isn’t the Deputy Mayor some sort of a boss? Isn’t he just under the mayor? Isn’t the Deputy Mayor in charge of public safety? I mean, was it a work related inquiry, personal inquiry or what? I’m almost certain that I’ve seen DJ and other exempts, on scenes, speaking at press conferences with Aldermen, the mayor, the Deputy Mayor and Glen Brooks, about shootings involving juveniles and adults. They usually huddle and then address the crowd. I’ve always thought that they were sharing information while huddling, before speaking to the crowd. So are you telling me that DJ can do press conferences and share information with the public, but he can’t share information with the Deputy Mayor who is in charge of Community Safety, and who also has PR people on hand before he speaks to the public. Wasn’t the Deputy mayor sworn in and bound by the same ethical principles as the CPD? Damn this department!!!
Cops, courts and corrections.
LGBTQ individuals are killed at a high rate here in the America. We are not any better to speak on other countries or religions.
Exempts often come across as arrogant and condescending toward the rank and file, particularly Don—this has been a recurring issue. Did you really think the half-dozen supervisors who witnessed this would withhold the truth? Times have changed; this isn’t the ’90s anymore.
Legal Affairs called and asked for information regarding a case. I’m afraid to give it to them. I just might land in an incompetent IAD Investigator’s caseload. With the level of incompetence that’s running this department, the shit might be a set up. I’m declining. I don’t know shit. What case? me no hablo Ingles. je ne parle pas anglais.
" Welcome to the party pal " comes to mind from Die Hard. They hand out time like it's cotton candy at the circus now.
About time they discipline them.
Half these guys we work with are dumb mutts anyway. It's not like you can have anything near an intelligent conversation about anything geopolitical or social without them getting offended and butt sore.
Up until Capt, Don JeROMEO was a copper’s cop. Unfortunately once he made Commander and during the SCAMdemic where coppers refused to be subjected to that poison jab (“my body - my choice”), and where he along with ALL the other Exempts, instead of defending and sticking up for the troops who refused the jab, this greedy puppet was at HQ intimidating Coppers that the poison jab was required and if refused he was ordering coppers to sign papers then sending them to personnel to turn in star and shield stripping them of their police powers. It was then we knew he fucked up and lost respect of all those coppers who actually thought he was one of the last decent bosses. He turned out to be just another weasel merit hack. Maybe he can be like the handful of weasel bosses who retire, then run to newspapers pretending to be supportive of coppers and bad mouth the city and dept but at no time while they held their white shirt position stood up for working coppers or stood up to city and dept while being employed. Retire already Playa!
Quagmire.
I’m shock. Palestinian people are peace loving and they especially love the gay/trans community . Such lies.
A similar incident of sharing juvie issue happened almost 20 years ago. Then Cmdr Acosta, of the "Acosta Blue" squad car fiasco, was caught giving out juvie info. That added into the reasons he resigned. I know. I'm old.
Englewood? Jerome? I don't think so
over 30 yrs OTJ (29 yr of sexual harassment incidents) and this gets him suspended ??? I guess he won
I hope you have the same fire for every boss that fucks up. Also the mayor & his staff. Sounds like it's personal for you with jerome
doesn't he have a constitutional right to voice his opinion???
Reading the Sun-Times headline made me shake my head: Jerome's alleged comments did not disparage gays, they highlighted the treatment that gays receive in certain parts of the world. Typical Sun-Times' dumbass editors.
We have to dumbass, otherwise we won’t get our trees trimmed or a garbage can from the ward office when we need too.
Out of topic but does anyone know what is going on with the gSGT exam results?
You may not like it, but he's done more police work than the whole command staff combined, he backs up officers, and he's looked evil in the eye. I met him when he was a new sergeant in 007. Good luck Chief with your future. You've done well.
This is 100% correct! Do you think any other non connected supervisor would have a total of three twenty eight day suspensions and still keep their spot?
I applied for a unit and was denied due to an open CR# I was told. Also I couldn’t even attend an award ceremony with my team because of same open CR #. Double standards and BIA doesn’t have a consistent disciplinary system.
This is Waller covering up through corrupt Talley. Waller is the head of the snake. Cut it off and get rid of him and the rest will fall. Until then the corruption will continue.
Shame on him for being an idiot and not knowing when to keep his mouth shut.
That doesn’t mean he was good supervisor. If you were not handling the job the way you should have then he should have ensured you were. “Shithead” or not, things should be handled according to dept guidelines. This is why the dept is fucked, everyone wants to be a friend or drinking buddy instead of doing your job and supervising. Why do you think all these coppers leave CPD and end up coming back? There’s no I need an hour on the front, or showing up to roll call unprepared and not in uniform, with full beards, asinine hairstyles, painted nails on both men and women etc…
That was the plan all along. These “investigations” were conveniently fast tracked for him. Again, corrupt BIA. There are people sitting at call back that have been waiting to have there CR’s properly investigated for literally years and all of these CR’a were done so fast? Something smells like Talley’s ass.
Exactly! I know the supervisor involved and he’s a good dude.
Yes, I was there. He was show boating for the senioritas and his friends. He is an old dinosaur that needs to be gone.
It’s his pompous and arrogant attitude. He knows that he can get away with it. Over and over and over and not a fucking thing will happen to him.
I'll say it - Good Riddance. This guy is true garbage, total piece of shit. Only out for himself. I worked with him in 25 and let me tell you something; if he hasn't tried to fuck you over yet give it a bit more time, guaranteed he will. Doesn't matter if you are same rank, subordinate rank or higher rank. If Jerome feels it will benefit him, you're gonna get it. Hey, Asshole, quit.
This is right on the money!!! It’s how you comport yourself in public. Obviously he missed that during exempt training, along with his sponsor Waller.
What were those famous words Fred? Oh yeah, “I’m not going to pour syrup on shit and tell you it’s pancakes”. Well ya did! But No that’s not the one… ☝️ Ah, I remember now!
That was the time you told the Federal consent decree monitor and an entire room of white liberal females and exempts, to “grope me, don’t rape me”.
Know your audience, this wasn’t a bunch of coppers sitting at the local tavern on Western Ave. Not that it mattered because he still collecting his undeserved pension and another six figure paycheck as a civilian director at the mayor’s behest. All at the taxpayers expense but the Mayor wants to raise taxes to continue the patronage corruption and hiring.
Off topic, a relative told me about a security industry awards ceremony yesterday. Said they were around DeVries and Hein. To say that they were unimpressed with those two is an understatement. No private industry security jobs are coming for these two unless the get involved with Folino.
Well hope the so called offended doesn’t get a “merit” promotion.
Don't forget who is running BIA, a non-police working hack, rents her car out to drug dealers, took several PPE loans for said drug dealing rent a car business.
Keep drinking the Kool Aid , the truth may hurt your feelings.
To those complaining: Be careful what you wish for. I’d take Don any day having my back as opposed to who would replace him. Also, people need to grow a set and stop being sensitive. You are supposed to be the police. Act like it. Whoever that Sgt. is knows what his culture is about, so he needs to stop playing the victim and man up instead of being a snitching crybaby hoping to score merit Lt. for his perceived wrong.
Signed, the Chief of Patrol..
It's called playing the game to get by.
You miss the whole point. But I’m not surprised with the caliber of morons who populate the ranks of this once noble profession. Jerome isn’t fit to hold the rank that he does and this has been proven on multiple occasions. But go ahead and tell us all again what a great guy he is because he backed you up on a traffic stop when he was a sergeant (insert hand job motion here).
SCC, we ask for leaders that have gone to court, leaders that are workers, leaders that make arrests , Jerome is all of these. This is a case of an opportunistic officer who got his feelings hurt. Jerome has helped countless numbers of officers, and we should see this for what it is. Lastly, and this is 100% factual he gave information to the mayors deputy of public safety at a mayor’s meeting with other exempts present!You’re a good man, sir, keep your head up.

"Dont move, get out of the car, don't move, get out of the car" .. well which one is it
Wow. .. justified.. prior to BWCs.. yes .. now NO
Who and what are they training these kids.. gezzz she is lucky she didn't hit anyone with her shot.
In America it's considered worse to observe the sin than it is to commit the sin.
Written by a Commander wanting his Deputy Chief spot
We are down here in Washington right now with the FOP.
Chuckle Schumer says HE WILL call the bill for social security fairness. I guess we'll see. He's on film admitting it.

Anyone know where I can send a get well card to the 002nd District Commander that’s been on the medical for stress since the start of the DNC?
It seems to me that BIA Chief Talley only punish White bosses. According to BIA Investigators, she has changed the outcome of investigations that they were overseeing to save her friends that are Exempts. I was told that Dana O'Malley, the Superintendent and Legal Affairs are all in on it.
So is he getting dumped? If it was bad enough for him to take 28 days, is it bad enough for him to be dumped? Let someone else have a chance. There are other Lt's.
DEI do nothing.
I'D TAKE THE TIMEOFF, go on a nice vacation. say thanks for the extra time to relax. Then maybe hit medical for a few days . Release name of deputy doog a-- mayor
Any command changes? Superintendent where are you?!?
my take on don as a boss take him or leave him he wont help you unless you are have or a hot looking desk dolly or somebody side piece
do you job answer you calls and stay safe , remember is all legit
He was a street cop, I'll give you that, but he was still an asshole. But when you look at our leadership, it's pretty much all merit, affirmative action, dei, sexual favors and incompetence.
