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?

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.

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.

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

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.
