Yoyo

Who writes this crap?

  • First Deputy Superintendent - Yolanda Talley
    First Deputy Superintendent Yolanda Talley, a 30-year veteran of the Chicago Police Department, will now serve as second-in-command within CPD. She brings a wealth of experience, leadership and dedication to this historic role, becoming the first woman to hold the position of First Deputy Superintendent in the Department's history. Most recently serving as Chief of the Bureau of Internal Affairs, First Deputy Superintendent Talley oversaw all internal investigations within CPD, consent decree compliance efforts related to accountability and transparency, and the Department's recruitment initiatives. During her tenure as Chief and Deputy Chief, she spearheaded the Department's Recruitment and Retention efforts, ensuring a strong and diverse workforce for the future. Her distinguished career includes roles in the Bureau of Patrol, where she served as Deputy Chief of Area 1, and as Commander of the 015th (Austin) District. In these roles, she worked tirelessly to strengthen community relationships and reduce violence. Earlier in her career, First Deputy Superintendent Talley served as a Watch Operations Lieutenant, Sergeant in the 007th (Englewood) District, in the Narcotics Section of the then Bureau of Organized Crime and in the Human Resources Division. She also served as an undercover narcotics officer and member of the DEA/HIDTA Task Force. First Deputy Superintendent Talley is a member of International Association of Chiefs of Police and a graduate of Northwestern University's School of Police Staff and Command. She holds a master's degree in forensic psychology from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology.  Additionally, she currently serves as President of the St. Jude Police League, further demonstrating her commitment to service and community.

Nothing about her niece bragging about how "my auntie is probably your boss" when she got pulled over with a high ranking gang banger and a bunch of heroin in Yoyo's Lexus? (Sun Times coverage here) Or about the scandals of the Confidential Section at BIA? Or how the top spots are rapidly filling with people who couldn't pass a single promotional exam high enough to make it on their own? (remember, upon retirement, these micro-brains are stealing massive pension bumps based on politics, not earning it).

If Rumor Central is to be believed, Larritorious wanted nothing to do with this move - he didn't choose his First, but then again, who does? The First Deputy is supposed to run the day-to-day operations at the behest of the mayor while the supernintendo does photo ops. That formula hasn't been followed since John Thomas was in the spot and that was after Townsend ran it for a couple of supernintendos.

Interesting times ahead as various Yoyo scandals are revealed. 

The rest of the changes:

  • Executive Director of Constitutional Policing and Reform – Allyson Clark-Deputy

    Chief of the Office of Constitutional Policing and Reform – Ralph Cruz

    Deputy Chief of Area 4 – Andre Parham

    Commander of the Investigative Response Team – Patrick Kinney

    Commander of the 011th (Harrison) District_– Johnny E. Tate Jr.

    Commander of 002nd (Wentworth) District_– Herbert Williams III

    Commander of the Alternate Response Section – Davina F. Ward

    Deputy Director of the Office of Analysis and Evaluation – Noé Flores

If the superintendent doesn’t agree with this move who’s really running the dept ?! Very scary thought. Why wasn’t she disciplined? Where’s the transparency?? This decision is why there is no moral in this dept it’s not low it’s nonexistent.

OT

SCC: what *IS* being talked about is how PRT will be retired and rebranded next year. the thinking is that the city needs less t stops and more coverage for details like pride, air n water, NY fireworks, the taste, marathon and for block takeovers in 011, drifters at ford city mall, etc. they also expect more protests and unrest against trump. it's going to be all young guys, mandatory bike certified and a lot of adjusted start times. and they want more coverage on district watches to supplement manpower shortages.

it won't be called sat or gangs but something along the lines of an incident mitigation type force- think cirt 2.0. basically the concept of DNC- report to somewhere like mccormick or 011, get deployed to an area, work 12hrs on whatever it is and bounce.

activity based stuff will be for district tac and mission cars

this IS coming

Mayor Conehead Johnson do not care about the background of the people he picks to work for him. He has showed that repeatedly. The mayor paid one of his debts to Alderman fat ass Ervin and his wife Treasurer Melissa Conyers-Ervin for all his votes that he has made to continue to supports the mayor in destroying this city. Talley is very close friends with the Ervin’s and from that west side . Talley has some real bad history, she was in the car with a sergeant she was dating who allegedly killed himself after he caught her cheating with another member of the department, she has repeatedly changed the outcome of CR investigations for her friends, the PPP loan and incident with her niece. They stripped Hillard’s son for a PPP loan just because she was trying to continue to harass Yakimba Phillips. No one thought this department or city could get any worse, well it did.

Less than a month for that scheduled Sgt class to start on 14 April, and still no "merit" package request put out for the best "merit" candidates.... Anybody got the info on WTF the city/dept's plan is for this next class planned for 14 April? Will it be off the old list and/or old merit list? Will it be off the new list with or without merit? Or, will it be postponed, again, altogether? (there was supposed to be a class in Feb '25) This April will mark 7 months since the last Sgt class. IMO I think they should give those kids off the old list another bit off the list since it didn't even break the 400 mark. With these morale deflating exempt command promotions, one would think they want to give a little hope to these kids striving to rise amongst the ranks and further their career.

With all of the people that Talley has wronged from civilians to Deputy Chiefs, I’d be too ashamed and afraid to stick around if I was her. From dumping tact Lt’s, to stripping innocent officers, to backstabbing colleagues. I don’t know how she’s going to survive as 1st Deputy.

Exactly what I was wondering. Who could have enough influence to place top level management in CPD? Even under Larry's disapproval? It would had to have been more than one alderman, and if conehead was involved, it would mean that Yo Yo knew him before he got elected to garner so much trust.
I think she is over her head and doesnt have the skills for the job she was just placed in. Is she being groomed for the next superintendant? Is that why Larry didnt want her?
Stay tuned...

A Lexus belonging to the Chicago Police Department’s chief of internal affairs, Yolanda Talley, wasn’t impounded after cops found 42 grams of heroin during a traffic stop earlier this month — raising questions about whether she got favorable treatment.

Talley’s niece was behind the wheel of the car when officers stopped it on Feb. 1 in the 500 block of North St. Louis Avenue and saw her passenger, Kenneth Miles, 34, try to ditch 84 packets of heroin valued at $6,300, according to police records and a source familiar with the investigation.

Talley wasn’t in the car, but the source said her niece made sure the officers knew about their relationship.

“My auntie’s probably your boss,” she told police, according to the source.

Miles was arrested on drug charges. But Talley’s niece was cut loose because there wasn’t clear evidence linking her to the heroin, the source said. The officers involved in the incident were later pulled from the street by police brass without explanation.

HICAGO — Yolanda Talley, whose Lexus was scooped up during a Chicago Police Department narcotics investigation while she was head of the agency’s internal affairs division, has been promoted to First Deputy Superintendent, making her the highest-ranking officer behind Supt. Larry Snelling.

In February 2022, Chicago cops saw a frequently arrested man named Kenneth Miles pick up a colorful bag next to a parked car and enter the passenger seat of a silver Lexus sedan owned by Talley.
Ad ends in 15

As the officers followed the car, Miles allegedly threw a large Ziploc bag containing 84 baggies of suspected heroin from Talley’s passenger-side window. Street value of the dope, per prosecutors: $6,300.

Cops stopped the Lexus, which was being driven by Talley’s niece, who had borrowed the vehicle from the internal affairs chief.

“My auntie is probably your boss,” the woman told officers as their body cameras rolled, a warning that they were dealing with someone related to a high-ranking CPD officer.

WGN reported that police returned Talley’s car to her niece after Miles’ arrest, even though the niece was driving on a suspended license. Questions continued to be raised about why CPD returned the chief’s Lexus when the department routinely seizes the vehicles of ordinary citizens in much smaller narcotics cases.

Talley was never accused of being involved in the incident, other than loaning her car to a relative. However, CPD’s superintendent at the time, David Brown, benched all of the officers who arrested Miles that day without providing a public explanation.

Talley is a 30-year CPD veteran and becomes the department’s first second-in-command, according to the department’s press release announcing her promotion.

As for Miles, he ultimately received a two-year sentence for tossing the heroin from Talley’s car plus another two years for a separate drug case he was on bail for at the time of the incident.
