Captains Made (corection - Training)
One of these is a very good person, but we'll refrain from naming them so they can develop their own reputation.

Well… it’s not Mendez or Irvin I can tell you that. Best of luck to whoever gets one of those two.
Back in the day……they stopped promoting to the rank of Captain. Saying it was a useless rank and that the pay was exactly that of a Commander, which was exempt. And as an exempt they can always be dumped back to being a Lieutenant if they did not like you. What this means is that these new captains are protected from retaliation when the Command/exempt staff changes again? Again let’s make CPD top heavy again?
I like cpt. Irvin :) solid broad. Good job Yolanda, continue making us proud
Ohh Thank Tha Lord Jackson got promoted. If “DOIN TOO MUCH” needed became legit definition with a picture- his ugly mug would take a whole page in the dictionary.
Officially don't know anyone promoted off any lists anymore.
The high command of the Chicago Police Department is a joke! I don’t pay attention to them anymore.
It’s just Captain school… no guarantee they’re getting the spot.
Froggy
Nope, not promos just training to 1 day become Capt
Another round of Hein’s personal eunuchs or are these from another exempt?
Go Yolanda! Good job
Mendez useless POS
Congratulations Jose “Tony” Mendez
Do we really need more precinct captains or other political fools?
Congrats Shosh! 98-13B!
One of these guys you mentioned is a huge crybaby. I hope he leaves 001
Dont know any of them. 4 isn't very many...is it getting saturated with useless pawns at the top of the tree?
Cleaning up Starks mess! I like it. First her secretary gets promoted and now her Lt gets Captain. Next Starks gets the boot and Area 4 gets fixed. She has to be shaking in her heels. Sucks it has to be done this way but bottom line is she has to go.
For a couple of these idiots it's just pension padding, they have a couple more years to go.
Shut up Hawkins you aren’t getting her spot like you think
Shoshi and Mendez are solid and fair
The same Irvin who hit medical for a year because she didn't want to be LT in 006 on 1st watch?
Has Hein come out from the rock he’s been hiding under ?
🧐
shut up, dummy
There is no need for these 4 to potentially move up.
The rank of captain is pointless. The WOL is all that is needed.
Mendez is a clown.
The dirty secret of the CPD is that only 10%, at best, of all ranks from Sgt to Sup are actually leaders.
LS is a solid guy. Always promoted in rank order and never merit. Hard worker and spent years in patrol in the hood. The only legit captain out of the four.
*correction….
You mean like the last class of 4 Captains? They are getting made, get over it. Congrats to them.
I agree. Best wishes brother Tony Mendez.
Yea like fatass Mendez disgusting pos
4 to many. Enough already.
Sounds like someone is jealous.
Any Relation to Crooked BIA Yo-Yo? 🤔🧐
either you were passed over for tact, or you are on tact and expected to do your job. Boo Hoo.
The XO Captain is useless. Make it career service rank and Watch Commanders again.
The Captains rank was given to Lt’s who were operationally capable to shore up poor Command staff (political) picks. Those Lt’s, selected for Captain, knew they had little-to-no-chance of being promoted to Commander. Now, with the DEI quotas and 30-by-30 nonsense, they are dumbing down the last rank that had SOME operational experience.
She is not competent. Cmon man!
Terry Mc Mahon got promoted to captain. That should show you how useless that rank is
maybe the RBT detectives will actually clear a case now.
She’ll be mandatorily retired in 6 months, why even promote her at this point?
I bet KR from 022 is upset he didn’t make the captains class AGAIN. I’m throwing the biggest party when this guy retires!
Guess Tony’s DUI from ISP didn’t hold him back.
Someone on the list has had their entire promotional career because of merit. What a disgrace.
LT’s tests results. Why is 63% passing??? Why is it so difficult to use 70% for ALL promotional exams???
End pensions for all appointed ranks . No test,pension at last rank that you qualified for,not meritoriously appointed
Well done and congrats to 98-13B from your homeroom sergeant!
DEI is strong
Snelling????
Because I wouldn't get my promotion then, that's why! Duh!!!
Percentage wise, Captains hit the medical longer and more than any other rank...maybe because it is a dead end position and there is nothing to lose?
Do away with the gold braid pensions already
O/T Did they pull a CR# for Talley’s PPP Loan? Is so what is it? Because they pulled one for all the other P.O.’s.
Shoshi is a solid dude. Well deserved in my opinion. He did more than any other Lt in 011 and 001.
If I ever get promoted to CAPTAIN, I would change my last name to MARVEL.
Then, everyone would have to call me .. well, ya know. ⚡️
Yea, already had enough of the KB, PK, TH show. All just waiting for their next promotion
Precincts?
hey madigan!! I want my envelope back,,,,, I'm not on the list...
All the e learning is 70% to pass, plus firearms why the 63?
DEI.
Agreed. The XO is the most useless job on the department. If they were running watches, that’s one thing, but they’re glorified cmdr secretaries.
The same Irvin who made every role call about race, took 6 days to do a basic TRR, had her husband come during roll call and sing a love song, who had an expired plate sticker for 8 months and said it was stolen when never purchased, has made the blog several times for race issues, has done nothing in her career, is incompetent as can be, and is almost mandatorily retired....Yes, great choice!
Retired 15 years....back in my day when a Cmdr. or higher up retired, you could look around and say "this guy is next, or maybe this guy"....because they worked their way up the ranks and you knew they were next. Now, I hate to say it, but 99% of upper command were merit appointments....never worked the street., never passed a test. Shamefull......
Captains used to run all three watches in a district. They were real bosses, not toy soldiers like the rank has become now. Inspectors were lieutenants and would have to go talk to the old man when they found some violations. Not very good for their health. Getting thrown down the stairs of a police station never ended good.
Aww they must of not let your lazy ass get the early duck!
For sure he didn't like bullshit artists....now we know who you are
Precincts as in election wards in Chicago. Either you're a rookie or a transplant...maybe both
Greg Jackson is as sharp as a bowling ball.
Don’t forget when she was 360 and the Incident Commander for the Chosen Few Picnic. She had roll call, left, and wasn’t heard from for hours until somebody started talking over the zone saying they found a radio. Her radio. It was like 6 hours later
Who again?
Very true! Now all youre getting are merit guys that spent their whole careers in units.
OT: Amparan, a rehire, took the sergeant’s exam while employed with the Des Plaines police department. He scored so well and decided he wanted to return to Cpd. Funny thing is, he won’t get promoted off this test because he lost his seniority upon getting rehired…. Now this clown is harassing the union on filing useless grievances, specifically to allow rehires to be eligible taking promotional exams so he can get his promotion. These grievances are an obvious lose and waste of lodge’s money. Lastly, he shouldn’t have taken that test and should be locked up for trespassing at McCormick
I think he is laying in wait until a weekend needs to be canceled once again.
These comments are funny cause I’m a white male and I was in Roll Call that day. Lieutenant Irvin only stressed treating citizens in whatever community you work in the same way you want to be treated..
In the mid 90's there was a moron PPO in 005 named Gregory Jackson who was too stupid to be otj. He was DEI before they labeled the process DEI. He could still be otj. Did that idiot make captain?
Lieutenant Irvin you been an outstanding officer and supervisor your whole career keep doing the great things you have always done.
His retarded sister is in call back.
So sad and to bad negative officer blogger, you can’t hurt or touch Irvin.
Stop drinking the hateraid cool aid dudes,
Frog congratulations to all yall. This may not get published because it’s a positive comment.
Mendez keep climbing to the top.
Irvin you took care of your troops always thank you. How someone who’s been dealing with racism her whole career is racists. Wrong again.
One thing for sure Lieutenant Irin is strong and don’t take no stuff off people
Make up all the negative stuff you want to y’all don’t know Irvin. She sticks to herself but willl help anyone. She’s awesome to say the least
i would change mine to AMERICA!
Just Stop lying on Lt Irvin, she’s been on medical2 x in 30 years, get over your issue with her or anyone else.. TRED won’t let you take long on a TRR so Stop lying Expired tag really… Lt Irvin don’t let yall detur her,
The same Yolanda Irvin that was sent to the BIA to close up a few handpicked CR#’s for Carter. The DEI way.
That’s right try to divide and concur,
Lt Irvin is. Our Shero
It's cause of madigan.
This superintendent is a typical politician. Some of these people are in units. There are so many Lt’s that are working cops. This guy promotes friends and family of Dana O’Malley, Clark-Henson and Hein. He tells you put an application, and it’s all joke. The process is not legit. Larry you’re not a great superintendent.
Irvin will be leaving due to mandatory retirement in six months, but they owe her because she kept quiet about a lot of sh-t that went down in the BIA.
Pinata got one? Nice
He’s is back in town. The superintendent has his boy back. Let’s not forget who runs the department. “Hein”. I haven’t seen one good promotion. Larry when do you leave? I’m still hopeful that we get a real leader, with some courage and do the right thing.
Congratulations Captain Jackson! Won’t He do it?!
No number was pulled.
Sweet Jesus 11:00:19, you are an idiot. I really hope you’re just a troll and not an actual cop!
No, it’s not really a secret. Pretty much everyone knows.
LS? LS who?
Oh, Lenord Shosi
His name is in the OP…
You can use it. It’s not a fuckin secret!
Hiccup, burp, you got me.
He must BE DOIN TOO MUCH in four hours while he drops OT slips for phone calls made from his recliner.
God help any attractive Black females in the Commander’s office.
Dennis Farina in Midnight Run:
“Hey did you hear they made him a Captain? Made him a Captain can you believe that? Go figure.”
No relations to the crook.
Yup, he was and always will be a know.nothing blowhard.
And why not to Kangaroo?
To cover the clout score.
Yeah, Precinct Captains. The guy that gets you a new garbage can and babysat the kids while Ma went to vote. Usually a Streets and San Supt. in real life.
"LT’s tests results. Why is 63% passing??? "
Because someone who had to get made is a moron. Sixty-three percenter's shouldn't be promoted, they should be DEmoted.
Now she can stay until 65.
LOL. GET A LIFE. So obsessed with him.
Everyone just needs to stop crying! Congrats to them all.
Stuebing
As long as it’s politically correct, and there’s nepotism involved, along with an envelope, it’s all the same none of it matters
Amen, so true, so much deadweight on the CPD it’s pathetic
Captain is a totally useless political rank
It pretty much has always been that way, at least since the 1960s
It’s TRAINING you idiots, Not an appointment!
why does Superintendent Snelling waste money for rank of Captain. Inspectors as Captain? For the history of CPD, Lt. was the rank for Inspector. Back then it was rumored, that Inspectors would be selected from Sergeants with 5 or more years in rank. Inspectors write up minor uniform, grooming infractions. In reality, it could be done by a civilian member of CPD.
Larry, give the assignments to Sergeants, eliminate the captain rank.
If you are forced by politicians to keep Captain rank, make them Watch Commanders. Assign them to 12-hour shifts, in a DOG and have relief Captains assigned to an Area to fill in when Captains are day off or on furlough.
Agreed. The XO is the most useless job on the department. If they were running watches, that’s one thing, but they’re glorified cmdr secretaries.
10/19/2025 05:03:37 PM
This guy nailed it. Make them Watch Commanders with Responsibilty to lead the young police officers, sergeants and lieutenants.
Lekeshia Royal? Wasn't she in one of the James Bond movies along with Miss Galour?
Tred allows however long it takes. Had an LT take 2 weeks on a trr review.
One of the best Captains out there is Seamus Mannion working in 001. This well liked gentleman is the real deal. He skyrocketed from PO fast because he is SMART ! TOO SMART FOR THIS JOB.AND I HEARD THAT HE TURNED DOWN THE OFFER TO COMMAND 901.
What keeps your hair slick, Seamus. Stroke.
what’s 901
The things he did as a PPO doesn’t count, because he was one hell of a tact sergeant in 011 under Lt. Hart (Rip). He legit had the best team around.
