Detective List (Amended?)
We've gotten two different lists - we're assuming the second one is the amended list.
It goes from ten "merit" picks DOWN to eight
Rank order promotions from forty UP to forty-two.
No idea what's going on there.

You know you have been gone a while when you do not know the names on the list.
You know you have been gone WAY to long when you don't even know the parents....
Cool font
Congrats to all! It’s all about the money and nothing else. Don’t do shit for these bosses. Let cases sit and rot. You don’t owe these connected coward bosses like Heineken anything. Congrats again, Detectives!
The two added are heavy as whale shit!
I do not recognize names any more on these lists. I came on in the 20th century!
There is Davina Ward selling her merit spot. How can CPD ever recover from that cheating scandal?
Can someone please do a picture of Hein on Where’s Waldo cartoon since he’s in hiding and they look alike.
Mcnichols is one of the sharpest officers I have met on this job and he will make a great dic. Congrats (AGAIN) Tom!
Not a single O’ and only one Mc. Mission accomplished! They finally got the “Irish need not apply” that they always wanted.
Maybe somebody didn't want it. Gots them a good spot already.
I'm just happy "lildave" gonna be gettin' justice now we have all these merits.
I must be really old when the only names I know are the sworn nominators.
Rank Order detectives are smarter.
Why should any God Star get a choice of @ picks? 1 aint enough?? Papaiannou?
Why the hell does Joe DeLopez lapdog “Director” Perfitti get a merit pick? Nothings changed on this most corrupt police department.
M.L. Already was a merit detective off of this list. He said he made more money in patrol than being a homicide detective. So he went back to FTO. So he was merit twice. Same list, same merit list
Don’t know one name. And only a few of the bosses.
Obviously some in 009 had a pretty good study guide.
Feazell is going to miss driving Conehead and his wife around and all that OT!!
For all of those who got merit (AKA cutting in line). You just entered a position that requires a high level or work and intelligence. Being a detective is more than walking around in a suit with a detective badge. However there are positions in the detective division that are created for dummies like you such as SVU, Criminal Registry, DNA, ATC, Administration, answering the phone, crime gun intelligence center. I just wanted to remind you that these positions were for older detectives who are close to retirement or detectives that are on limited duty but your selfish dumb privileged ass will take these spots.

They can thank midget madigan. What he did in the early 2000's ruined the job.
I thought commanders can not nominate there family member’s. Conflict of Intrest Commander Ward
They let Patty Casey cheat on the 2022 lieutenant exam. They got a bunch of Riccios people in, so I guess they are even now. NOBLE wasn't the first to cheat and they won't be the last. We need to call them all out.
Costello forever the company guy …
Well deserved on Allen’s promotion. Works inside and tells people what to do. Comes in late leaves early. I would love to have a commanders and my God mother in a sorority
I'm still on and only know one, lol.
About time. Now they know what it feels like.
Take your salty vibes elsewhere. Let them decide for themselves.
First time? Welcome to the party. It sucks to suck doesn’t it. I know how you feel…amigo
Retired Dic here...congrats to those who made it on test scores like I did. To the others, not so much. The bosses in the "D" units are still overpromoted souls with Zero merit who will act like everything is legit.
Just do your job, they don't know shit. Find someone you know and respect. Ask lots of questions...make some connections, even if it kills you. There is a pecking order. enjoy the job as much as you can...
Anyone with half a brain can see that Lul Dave did, in fact, get the justice he deserved
Your funny. News flash. The majority of patrol is not White, or Black, it’s Latino. For all the times my dad was stopped in the 60’s for owning in Bridgeport, he can finally rest in peace.
Couple sweeny’s though
Basic reading comprehension skills?
You know what they say a team that cheats together gets promoted together!
Best comment of the day! 🤣🤣🤣
Kind of a small list for detectives. Sad.
Chicago is fucked.
Start scouting your retirement location NOW.
O.T.- Anyone look at Reddit? Specifically the Chicago or Illinois subreddits? Reddit is super liberal. It's sometimes entertaining, sometimes annoying. Look at the violent and depraved things they are suggesting people do to law enforcement. Look at the videos from Old Irving Park incident on 10/25. These north side leftists are straight up nuts and dangerous.
Let him stay in hiding. We’re safer that way. The Roll Call information that he sends out via email is all that we need to hear from him. If anyone is looking for him, visit the bar he frequents.
Speaking of cowards, re-read your post to yourself clown. Just quit. Let me guess, you’re answering calls down at 376 OR, you’re a do nothing RBT stroke who’s never actually been a detective but cries about your inbox everyday while never actually clearing a case. Go back to being a PO and work the desk somewhere and tell em all how awesome you use to be back in the day.. stroke
Hein’s merit pick is a do nothing and another one that got piped down for the promotion 😂
That’s ok, no one knows your name either.
The merit promotions are down two and rank are up two…those are two guys/gals that had the test answers given to them (if I had to guess I’d put money on more than two). Now they can have an illustrious career in which they can claim they made it on score. Yeah, I’m cynical. That’s what this job does to you.
Spoken like a true detective. “Fuck the victims, you got nothin kid”.
Tom is a smart guy and a good PO, he just brings too much attention to himself. Definitely smarter than most exempts on the job today !!!
You promote my guy/gal and I'll promote your guy/gal. No one will ever notice. WE be slick, right?
Please for the sake of your victims, especially children, do not let your cases rot. We do not need or want you in the D-unit if that’s your intention.
Funny story. My great uncle came on when a good deal were Irish. He was Polish but his last name started with an O. It was Oziki (he “Americanized” the spelling & pronunciation). His first day on the watch, the watch commander when reading roll call - “O’Brien, (here) O’Casey (here), …O’Toole…(here)…O- O- O Z IKI, what the Hell, kinda name is that? Japanese?”
Not the ones that get the test questions and answers beforehand.
They have to spread around the merit picks to all these obscure Gold Stars, Directors, etc- so it’s not just the same names as the nominator. In reality, more than half the time those nominating are told who to nominate.
McNichols, they managed to squeeze one in there.
I do not know many of those.
Exactly lol
Does this mean the homicide clearance rate will soar.
More puzzling, how the hell does perfecto know ANYTHING about the abilities of some cop who works in 8? That is aa loooong way from the comfy confines of HQ. This department is a joke, this merit process is further example of how much a joke this department is, and this city will reap what it sows in the years to come. Glad I am getting out in November.
hope the new detectives remember that when they get that case where a man who is a nephew of a mayor kills a kid they should not listen to their supervisors who tell them to "take care of it" and they will be looked after
Shut up stupid.. I can bet you are still pulling cars over, stopping "suspicious" people to get what the bosses want so you can leave early, work ot, or keep your same beat car and start time. You fool... dont comment on what you don't know about. You go to the D unit so you dont have to be a person like you making stupied comments on a blog knowing your that guy pretening to get back at "the man".
All about the money....isnt working for a living only about the money... clown go back to bed in your mom's basement.
How the hell does a deputy chief, Chris Papaioannou get TWO PICKS? There aren’t enough bosses?
Snelling thinks Hein issue will blow over but it won’t. Hein nationally embarrassed the department. i’m a relatively new Sergeant and I can tell you that no one respects him. No one.
Have to order more of those Netflix subscriptions,
Made more money but worked 3 times as hard with 10 times more of the risk.. plus most of that $ isn't pension able.
How the F can you get merit again after putting in for merit... going through the merit spot then shatty on your nominator by quitting .. yea quitting, being a detective and going back to patrol. Sounds more like he is a moron and quitter than smart... he would make a better boss than a detective. Thats 2 detective spots he wasted so far . Robbing a spot from those that actual scored better and want the job.
Jealous much!
Ha!, I was thinking the same thing. I joined the club, this is the first time I do not recognize or know a name. A couple more years and I'm out🍻.
Let cases sit and rot? You’re a scumbag!!
It’s because they all left in the Paddy Wagon. Mind your pints and quarts you bloke!
No wonder we didn’t see any O’Malleys, McCormicks or O’Learys.
A big chunk of the Sgt’s in 009 were once detectives.
Hey, don’t besmirch the good name of Heineken beer. It’s Hein.
Well no shit!
As long as he’s not living in Lombard! Wink!
Welcome to the ass end of body life time.
The three, likely somewhat whimsical, calender based categories:
Begin body life in early century, end body life it late same century.
Begin body life near middle of century, end body life sometime during early following century.
Begin body life near end of century, end body life well into the following century.
Also, possibly pondering worthy, define century by divisions into decades and the developments of the results of humans' ingenuities, those affecting every facet of humans' practical experiences.
You're right; you don't owe the bosses a damn thing. You do owe the good citizens who are victims of the beast something. That would be your best to lock up every single one of the bastards. Please don't quit on the good people. I'm not talking about the assholes that hate us. Now, that said, I won't have to worry about you killing a case as a dick - you will never be fortunate enough to hold the position.
Congrats to all! It’s all about the money and nothing else. Don’t do shit for these bosses. Let cases sit and rot. You don’t owe these connected coward bosses like Heineken anything. Congrats again, Detectives!

You are a meathead and you don't even try to hide it. Detectives don't "do shit for bosses". Detectives do "shit" for victims and it may surprise You that We and our families become victims too. A good detective will work on a case when there is a good victim involved. Maybe try to understand what Detectives do before you say something really dumb.
There are people who score decent on the exam but want to rush their promotion and take a merit spot instead of waiting their turn. Just like people who get multiple bites of the merit apple and make a phone call to get a good spot instead of letting the chips fall where the may. . Just taking advantage of their entitlement.
Hey Ruben in 12, you were not even considered for the merit promotion and you are not smart enough to earn it by score. Meanwhile, you need to calm down and just get the video.
We got a bunch of new detectives around 2010 and a lot of them asked to go to SVU...The ones that went to VC never bothered to talk with the rest of us other low lifes. Thanks for the seniority! I got summer furlo's every year since then!
100 bucks says he goes right back to the detail… just watch and see..
A class of 50 detectives? That's 10 per area, divided by three watches. 2-3 being RDO everyday. Several will be detectives for about 6 weeks until they make sergeants then those detectives will brag that they were detectives for the rest of their careers as supervisors.
It's only a drop in the bucket. Good luck.You'll get about a dozen cases a day...your inbox is already filling up.
If you let cases sit and rot then guess who gets them? The Other detectives in that section. Oh and don’t forget they cut off people with abnormally large amount of cases. So others will get screwed with more jobs. Don’t be a clown. Do your job.
I hear that girl from 018 is a real dog. Great. I am sure she’ll get a good spot in the area and file some papers
I’m sorry to inform you that the standards have been lowered now, because neither of the Area Detective Commanders were great detectives. A few had administrative assignments and the others were never detectives and neither have ever presented a case to the Felony Review.
Check out the CPD podcast. Think they had a sgt with almost 40 years OTJ being interviewed. You know how you stay on for that long? Don't work in patrol and work somewhere hidden where you rarely deal with the stuff everyone else deals with. Better yet be at 193 and work basically wires where you never out in the open like others. Nobody who works patrol as a PO, Sgt or Lt will rarely ever stay on near 40 years. Too much exposure to the nonsense. Not worth it. If you're a house mouse or connected to be in a hidden spot then you can work 50 years OTJ. Try working 1st watch in patrol or humping a beat car for 20 plus and see how Long you last. The sgt and Hein are big time boozing buddies so of course Heiny decided to use Sgt MN for a podcast. Similar to democrats being interviewed by CNN. I'm guessing they had the interview in a tavern somewhere close to home and familiar to both.
Heiny watch 2025
I don’t know about that. Seems to be a lot of people, and folks, named “anonymous” ‘round these here parts…
No, Patty Casey cheated on the Lt exam before the 2022 one.
She was in the hospital and “someone” (allegedly Jan Dillon) personally proctored Patty’s Lt test in the hospital room.
Patty re-payed the favor by getting the twins a d husband in her personal study group.
Patty being a “Subject Matter Expert”.
We had a pretty good LT in 024 named Heineken so let’s find another moniker if need be. Don’t want any confusion and the beer is quite good also.
I don’t even know what Reddit is. Boomer
No. Area OT will soar for nothing.
Ha Ha, that’s 100% true, Ruben also needs to complete a supplementary report after he retrieves the video which is something he has neglected to do for years.
Alot also had do nothing inside spots to study all day
Bottom line. After a short period of time it doesn’t matter which one you make it. People will judge you by who you are and how you act in the area about the work.
Typical
You lost me at SVU. I worked child abuse hotlines for years, both physical and sexual. Most of the Violent crimes dicks wouldn't know how to handle these cases. Pookie shot by CornPop is easy compared to the rape of a 2 yr old by a family member.
Lot of pussies who ain’t gonna do shit. Taking them serious is as retarded as they are.
Reading these posts makes people want to hit the medical. Imagine studying for months or years just to have a cheater steal your promotion. Fuuuuuuuuck….
Ohhhhkay
Must be replying to you're own post. Nobody named ML on this list made merit.
Crazy right? He only got one pick when he was on that dating show.
Encouraging others to do even less than the bare minimum and then blame the bosses for it… you kinda sound like a shithead to me bud
Jason Wilson??? R u kidding me. Goes the opposite way of a 10-1 every time!!!!!!!!! Wow.
must all be 5 year wonders never heard of any
Hey dipshit, this merit list is over 3 years old. The FTO selected was briefly in Unit 166 for an IOD. Perfetti picked a working officer instead of an inside house mouse.
What do you know about clearing a murder?
Look at the first list that was posted
Does anyone know what test rank number they're on for this class?
I watch SVU and learnt everything I need to know from Odafin Tutuola (Ice T, )
She did absolutely no work at all. Goodluck to Area 3 where she is going. Maybe she can manage the store?
Owning or dealing?
Great guy!
Retired 1.5 years ago. Don’t know a single name on the list.
It’s obvious you don’t listen to the podcast with how dumb your comment is.
And this is how new detectives think. They have a “I deserve this, I’m entitled to it” attitude and do the bare minimum. You don’t deserve to be a detective
@ 10/26/2025 06:39:37 PM
M.L.G. ... we can tell your not detective material
Why would anyone want to stay in the job for 40 years? What’s in the mind of a person that would come to this job for 40 years? What have you been doing other than CPD for the last 40 years?
lmao
Who the F would even want to be a dick unless you have less than 7yrs on. Look how many denied SGT. This job is a joke. Put your head down collect something and move on Remember. The garbage man that drives the truck makes more than you!! Thats what the city thinks of you!! Have a great day and Homedepot forklift guys makes dicks pay. Haha. Old timer here. Make the job work for you. Not the opposite. Told a long time ago Feb 2027 cant come soon enough
But hey!! Someone has to do the job. Hahahah!!!
The FTO selected was briefly in Unit 166 for an IOD. Perfetti picked
~
So whatcha saying is just before the list came out, he was cleared and put back in a district to look and appear as though he was a legit working officer. Got it BS
Have you seen his biceps? Cheesebooger cheesebooger no Pepsi chips
Spoken like a true asshole. Go call the people in SVU or ATC dummies to their faces and guarantee they smack the shit out of your holier than thou ass. You HGS meatheads are a joke, go have another light beer fool. Only dumb shits like yourself think that dude beating dude is more serious then husband beating wife, staff beating kid, or dude beating senior citizen. Nobody is impressed with your ghetto bullshit besides your suburban friends from your shitty NW suburb that hasn’t been “upscale” since 1980. Go put your vest on for the discount at Chipotle and try not to think about your ever-fattening wife regretting that she settled for life with you.
You mean Sam C lied, and good dicks got jammed up as Sam’s daddy’s connections allowed him to rise up in the ranks? Every time I see “Acting Commander” by his name I wanna puke.

*****
Bingo. Hard to believe but this is one Merit pick that wasn't wasted on a lump of shit. DM is intelligent and works hard. He'll actually take the job of detective seriously.
Why did Papaioannou get 2 picks? 2 out of 8.
He's come a long way from the Academy.....
Jeez, didn't someone else get a big gold star after the Academy? Is that where bosses are made now?
ATC I would say are the opposite of dummies. Are they always helpful depending on your area and case load? No, not always, but dummies? Not most of them. Take DVRs back to the area and rip all the data off the hard drives, dump phones, pull infotainment centers out of vehicles and process them, process cell tower data. They mainly assist us in homicides, that’s their main function. And they’re tremendous at it. Quite a few high level tech guys in those offices with lots of federal training. Get friendly with them, they can be quite helpful, at work and with tech issues at home.
Don't dis SVU.... it's easy to look at a beat-up or dead gangster, try looking at a kid with 30 lashes from an extension cord when the kid isn't verbal and family members try to protect the offender.
Just like anywhere on the job, the D-unit is filled with both lazy and outstanding detectives. There are VC and RBT dicks who suspend the majority of their cases and others who solve cases with arrests and lengthy sentences. Some SVU dicks do very good work too, they just don't get the notoriety and glory that VC gets.
You don't see many TV detective shows dealing with kids who are whipped, burned, drowned, or raped, but we have detectives who do those cases daily and do them well.
He will go back to the detail.
Advice for you new detectives. If you have a question on anything, don't ask a supervisor. Find a good detective.
Congrats Twin, well deserved. I’m going to miss you!
I don’t think you can sit on cases. That’s not how this works.
Great for the garbage man and I hope he does, I would rather wear business casual clothes and work inside at my leisure than walk up and down city alleys five days week. Stop being a hater and enjoy life buddy.
She’s actually the working police. You hate your life don’t you.
I wish FEB 2027 is tomorrow because your old salty ass needs to GO!!!
Come on, everybody know "Anonymous," he posts on this blog all the time.
yea,,, now they get eddie murphy
Andrade……...Ha
What do merits and migrants have in common?
Answer: They didn’t get in the right way…
Say you don't like him, say his uniform looks like shit, say he's always late! But don't lie on him! I worked with him for years & never seen him run from a 10-1. You're a lying fuck!
Another young crowd judging by employee numbers. Why are old timers so bad at scoring well on test? All that experience and nothing to show for it.
Papaiouannou, snelling, and Novalez were all in the academy together as LT and sergeants.
He was in CAPS in 15..totally useless. Scared of the streets and scared of doing any work. He will be back driving BLM Brandon
I doubt it if Home Depot forklift drivers make $120,000
We don’t have no stinking badges. We have stars.
Rather than be a salty prick, with probably 7 years on the job, try and be half the guy Mike is. A true professional who actually cares about other coppers, and oh, takes pride in his work and is good at it? I don’t care if you’re working a beat car or a broom closet on this job, there’s way too many whiners and backstabbers. We’re all we got people. Wake up.
The only division in the department where citizens actually love to see you. A true detective works tirelessly on cases and the victims love you for it! Do your jobs and Congratulations!
I, and quite a few good policemen got screwed out the detective promotion when the large group was made in 1998. We wound up youth officers instead compliments of the merit promotees who passed us over from thousands of rank order spots behind us. We were still D-2 and could clear cases, unlike gang specialists. Had a great boss at A/4, but shitty school marm’ sergeants in the Y/D. Made plenty of money, plenty of freedom and my two-year-old victim with anal fissures, gonorrhea and a fractured skull never shot, stabbed or robbed anyone. Wouldn’t trade that experience for anything.
Why Amended? 😵💫🤔😉
If you were given any merit promotions or a copy of the promotional test, then you shouldn't get any merit picks. Its like incest. Papa had both.
Haha!!! Agreed!
Ha!
I worked with that FTO in unit 166 also IOD a great officer and very sharp individual. Went back to patrol on his own by choice is a computer wiz. As a individual with no phone call he well deserved his merit phone call cleaning up the mess left behind by old farts and helping officers learn the system #JR
Listen to a podcast that basically strokes Heins ego? Nah. He's a goof who gave the order to NOT back up LE calling for assistance. Some of us will not forget that. You must be a Heiny drinking buddy or one of his followers.
Lots of those Below 5 suits flying off the rack.
He was receiving FTO pay while there, wasn't he? He was IOD while tested for FTO, bragged he would return to the unit as an FTO and collect FTO pay and benefits and not do a like of FTO work. He then tookDic test while IOD in unit 166 and you see how this goes. Good sucking up pos
Foster would piss all over you.
To the above mentioned dipshit. Reading is a skill.
Is this the same mope who's spent more than half his career on the medical roll??
Tell that to a rape or domestic violence victim praying for a patrol car to show up!
Nope. She never was
I’ll take an old timer vs anyone hired in the last 10 years any day of the week. Maybe it’s that old timers don’t have the luxury to spend their off time studying or dropping a couple grand on test prep because their don’t still live at home with their parents and have no children.
Hahahaha hard working?? Dude is one of the worst FTO’s on the watch, always dodging jobs or staying down hours on end for basic tasks. If you looking for an officer that knows everything yet continually does the exact opposite of what should be done then Mav is your man.
Supervisors agree.
^ The test was literally reading comprehension skills. ‘Old timers’ are literally retarded if they couldn’t get promoted off this test.
Absolutely working police. Put her numbers up against yours.
If he’s so sharp why couldn’t he pass the test (both parts were multiple choice by the way) for the promotion and not need a merit bump?
When’s the next ET class ?
She will fit right in with all the entitled females, probably work in front office, time keeper, or assigned to 020 RBT on management working days.
Wilson is DC Bens pick not DC Pappaiouanos. HR f’d up as usual.
