Lieutenants Made

In the dark of night, a promotion list sent out late Thursday:


 

And only two "merit"? 

That's 13%, right? No one else qualified?

Never has been more than 10% truly meritorious, lots of desk dollies and drivers.

If you're running late for lieutenant's school don't speed down the 1300 Block of Jackson unless you're the 2 merit hacks . . they probably have some clout to fix the tickets.

Double Merit D Hubbs. Could BARELY do a complaint back in the day as a police officer and let Eddie Johnson walk out of the house after burning Nakia’s stank panties during her tenure as a merit sergeant. This department is a joke. Bet the department will hide her after promotion. Totally unqualified to be a WOL. Clueless.

Most on this list were never ever the police .. so they qualify either, else its for cheating and or being book smart, which is good until a situation does go like the book said it would go.

In the dark of night? The list went out at 5pm and was bright asf outside.

Late Thursday? Late for you maybe, some of were barely 2 hours into our tours and midnight people were probably just waking up.

No one else qualified? Yea I heard the same rumor too about some career house mice who thought they were going to get made. Aint happening. 20 or 30 years of working inside is no merit, that means you're just a civilian impersonating a cop.

If you scale a 6 foot fence, do 82 push ups/92 sit-ups, run 2 miles in11:54, no IOD and only forced medical for 10 days due to Covid, only exonerated CR’s, all CIT qualifications, carbine qualified, officer friendly, peace circle, New Mexico tech trained, TLO, as a start you can be on the list. Then those officers do Thunderdome with each other. The tickets should sell for $200 and proceeds go to the Chaplin.

With this class are currently at 116 on the Lt list. Lots of retirements and promotions before the next Lt class in September so the final class off this list should reach to around 140. That is the historic norm for a Lt exam.

I’d agree. I’ve never felt stress and pressure the way I did when I first made Lt and was sent to a shit district where TRR’s kept rolling in and shootings and chases. It came very close to getting me. Things are a little different now with chases almost non existent and coppers not being as proactive, but it can still be very stressful. You’re the one everyone looks to for the answer and to make sure everything gets done the right way. The buck stops with you and your name is on everything. In the end it’s just a job tho. Don’t let it eat u up like it did me back then.

At the end of the day, these merits are your bosses. That’s why you have to beat ‘em and score well on the test. It can be done! My motivation for doing well was not having these dogs telling me what to do. Now I delegate and ensure that the work gets done.

These rapid tests are even worse for the regular working copper. The connected score in the top 50 every test. They need to keep these lists up as these are the people who might know what they are doing - Having the tests more often just allows the connected to get ahead by score. Its like a back door merit system

Absolutely. PO’s that couldn’t pass a dicks or sergeants test and were promoted by merit-each time- somehow ace the lieutenants test where the competition is infinitely tougher (the legitimate rank order promotions). It’s a joke.
