Sergeants Promoted
Here ya go (click for larger views):
We've reached the point in our lives where we only recognize a single name or two on the lists any more. We guess we have officially aged out of the Department. Not a horrible feeling, but an odd sense of detachment from something that was such a huge part of our lives for almost three decades.
Best of luck to the deserving.
UPDATE: Seems the Supe's driver made it....again. Long standing tradition that driving the boss around makes you qualified to supervise Officers.

I understand that too. My son is going to retire in a year. When I read the FOP magazine I know more people who died than are retiring
A bunch of pronoun soy drinking goofs .
Very happy to see the commander of 24 give merit to a FTO instead of wasting that opportunity and not giving it to someone
Parham’s driver gets a merit spot? Should we laugh or cry?
Congrats fellow merits!
ML from 001?? The biggest dog in 011. 300 pounds of useless lard . Scared to do his job and now a supervisor. God help us..
Glad I'm still here enjoying retirement to see and feel the detachment of only knowing one or two names also. This was a motivation for over three decades!
The commander of A/4 promoted her secretary who was a detective by rank only. She went right into the front office without ever working the floor when she made detective 2 years ago. There was another criteria too. It’s the same criteria she uses in all her personnel decisions.
At least merit isn’t eating up 30% of the list this test.
Dana O’Malley gets to select a candidate for the rank of sergeant? What qualifications does she possess? What does she know other than the full menu at IHop?
Mason jones from 012 has been inside pretty much her whole career. I have a feeling she will pass on it… too afraid! She honestly wouldn’t know what to do out in the streets. Plus she’s on baby number 4-5 I think. She is very territorial with her compstat spot.
Reina????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Boy oh boy, is this promotional process really legitimate. Department is cooked.
It's an amazing transformation. Some of the biggest pooches I ever worked on a watch with make Sgt and turn into company men. They must make them swallow some magic pill during training.
What is giltmire deal, she should !
V.R. 020 has zero street experience. None. Always has been the boss’s “secretary”.
Feel bad for Angelo and Vince. Devries passed them up again. Keep buying him lunch and dinner.
SCC, why do you only update after midnight? Why don't you post throughout the day? I understand you have stuff going on but sometimes things happen.
I see where back to the DEI Merit selections. Good luck
Old timers can’t pass a test clearly. They’ll say they don’t care but they just dummies.
The last few part two promotional exams were not based on the orders. You needed to study the orders for part one. Part two is purposefully designed so the testing company can engineer a desired outcome. Ultimately they get enough minorities passing.
The evidence technician and MAUI test was the only one that was based 100% on the orders.
So true. I hit that point about ten years ago. Now I see names in the obits that I recognize.
I'm getting too old for this, can't wait to retire. I only recognize a handful of names. Congrats to all the new Sgt's!!!
I trained 3 of their parents. All three of the parents played the hack game and were promoted. It’s the way the system operates in Chicago—-nepotism.
POTUS Trump please save us.
Some of these people haven't worked the streets in years. {Honk Honk} Typical clown world policing.
we have stuff going on
FTO as well. Additionally, no merits in FTO classes. Why?
He don’t know shit… he’s not the police and a back stabber… can’t be trusted
Yup! I GOTTE ON THE JOB KID!!!! But can’t do a traffic crash report lol
Judging from your grammar, you must be a the Albert Einstein of CPD. Old timers are smart enough to see how the department is gearing up to ditty supervisors for the soy drinking retards in this department's F*ck ups.
Over the next few years the detachment you’ve begun to feel increases to a point of absolute ambivalence. Other than I once shared the problems of current POs, and I still care about their wellbeing, I no longer care what happens or who is promoted. The city has ceased being relevant in my life or that of the country’s. The city and the state have become freeloaders on the taxpayer.
Keep Old timers out your mouth!
Maybe you should focus more on finding other stuff to do with your life, instead of waiting by the computer for an SCC update.
Get yourself a hobby or something.
So you’re saying you trained them well?
He was a good Police Officer back In the day. Then got jammed up and sued.
Completely useless. The merit list is All DEI
Who the hell is still trying to move in the sinking ship that is the CPD lol wake up guy this job is just a money grab.
Old timers have vast street knowledge the young guys have book/academy knowledge. Unfortunately the department only tests book knowledge and doesn’t care about experience. That’s why this department gets worse every second
"such a huge part of our lives for almost three decades."
Sad.
A PO from 1st W with a Muslim sounding last name was bragging that he'll "surely get the merit" from Christian after she made commander.
Stop! He will make any front office happy
It's called " he has a life..". Be grateful he takes the time to keep this site going for no compensation for himself.
Fuck Angelo
This is a fact.
Merit or Rank
It doesn’t matter!
Just be fair…..
Maybe you could do it.
Cue the commentary about the list. "I worked with this goofball" or " So and So is a prince and a coppers copper!" or "If they promoted him/her this department is a joke!"...and the always popular "The system and test were rigged!"
I say "Congratulations to the deserving..." You are headed down a path where every decision will be scrutinized and criticized by those whose names were not on the list. Ignore them. Do what you can to make this department better.
Those merits are all a joke. How does the process work?? All those merit picks when they had their interviews were horrible. Some don’t even know how to articulate. Do they look at their history??? Larry did you even bother to do that. Clark-Henson merit pick?? Lmao!!! I guess Dana told Larry do it and she did. How come her old admin KC didn’t get it? Because she was not DEI. She was more qualified and actually knew her job. What a joke? Those spots should go to working cops. Inside people go back to the streets then ask for a spot.
All the bashing yet all you cry babies will ask how high when any of them are your sgt and tell you to jump.
Why whould anyone want to be a boss in this dept when the boss above you is a moron and the POs you will be supervising are dei hires that cant be controlled
“ We've reached the point in our lives where we only recognize a single name or two on the lists any more” You sure hit the nail on the head with this comment. One thing remains the same… you don’t have to be qualified for the job, just connected!
Fire side here is there any other way your list are fixed.Cfd has a oral score thru interview by Big Chiefs.My Lt.test had exactly 47 guys with higher oral scores then written.And 47 guys with lower oral scores then written.Add merit and that’s two ways the results are fixed.And if you think I have a axe to grind yes my oral score was over 20 points below my written I would of had to be non-verbal to score that.I forgot giving answers as a way they fix FD test.Any suggestions of cheating on your test?
If Rudy V. had been loyal and not bad mouthed Parham he may have had a chance at making merit Lt. Instead all he does is go around to political events trying to suck up to politicians to make him. Apparently he hasn’t figured out that shits not done the way it used to be. Fucking Dummy.
She’s the one that runs the show. Larry does not make any decisions without consulting to her. It’s clear based on all the promotions. We are on a budget crisis and Dana decided to tell Larry promote all these civilians making commanders pay. The system is broken and Larry is a yes man… keep the good work. These merits picks are horrible.
Don't be hating on the Merit picks, most working officers don't want to be a Sgt, merit picks are the leftovers.
Thanks for that happy note
They do update during the day.
Score higher than him and be promoted yourself.
Part 2 on sergeant test was the application or orders. Clearly you failed it. What did you rank? The 2500s?
Unreal
Her pick is one of the best on the list. Mamadou worked for me in 15. He's a good copper, knows the streets, and can find the sign-in room at 26/cal. I'd put him in too.
None of these can be as bad a Ferry Tella from 007
Who are these people? Inside people stashed away?
Bull and Healy. 2 great guys and will be good bosses.
Dave you were an excellent PO, FTO and now you will an excellent Sgt. Congratulations. Stay safe and God bless you.
Antonio Brand is one of the hardest working cops I’ve ever met.
Yea well its not rocket science . If you think its so difficult, it may be you
It always comes back “they never worked the street.” While I understand what you’re saying. Nobody cares! They don’t want anyone doing real police work! Accept the bs politics of go drive a truck.
We all just passing through.
Both are true.
Score higher than them and show them how its done.
that’s what happens when you “work” inside your whole career… all the time to study and flirt with the bosses!
Retirement couldn’t come sooner!!
Anybody know where they’re at with test numbers on this list, approximately?
Sadly I don’t know one name on that list and I’ve only been retired for just short of 4 years. Now live far away and the CPD is just a memory
Wow, look who's back at it! A4 Commander Price-Starks is making moves again. Get this: she just named her secretary, ACS, her Merit pick for Sergeant. That's the same person that made Merit Detective just two years ago—straight out of another comfy "inside" spot in the training division.
Seriously, the person never even spent a single shift on the floor before being brought into the admin office. And her big achievement as a detective? Getting those reserved parking signs put up for the administration secretaries. Groundbreaking stuff.
Meanwhile, she’s got 200 other detectives on the floor clearing cases and actually making the her look good, and she promotes a "house mouse." How unbelievably demoralizing is that? Way to show the people doing the real work that their effort is appreciated!
This is just the latest in a long, tiring line of terrible decisions. She just keeps pulling in these no-name, like-minded Sergeants who've never actually worked in the detective division, passing over people who are totally qualified.
What's next? She is going to remodel the men's locker room for the female detectives and send the guys two floors down into the basement!
It’s probably time to start collecting those two pensions and bring in someone who actually gives a damn about her troops.
Not nice. Same team bro.
Have fun babysitting grown adults and better hoping you’re not in charge when a couple of the youngins step on their collective junk.
Kind of narcissistic to think that SCC is awaiting your snarky replies, and as soon as you do, SCC receives a notification and posts your comments. SCC...dont ever change. Once a day is good for people that "have stuff going on"
020 as well
Congrats Brand, Koz and Pruz…
Kind of like the actual job. First obtain the information. The apply the information obtained.
I hope the cute guys come to 019.
Now, kees me you fool!!!!
Anyone with last names past the letter M? Is there a page missing?
And all of these people have a 4 year degree? Is that still required?
So DHS gets attacked & CPD leaves. Can't get much lower than that
shameful & embarrassing on so many levels
Amen!!!
It never was required.
I’m sure you’re the real police!
Loser
The first class was young, average was 8 years or so. This one looks a bit older, maybe average of 9-10 but yeah, people with time are not doing well on the test. Mostly because of all the changes to policy that the younger officers didn’t have to relearn, they just learned it straight. Too bad for old timers though, all they have are their war stories and old blue shirts.
74 in the first class. 10 merit. 75 in this class with 12 merit. Using my calculator that means I have to add 72+75 and then subtract 10 and 12 to pay for merit taxes. 125.
Agreed he’s a genuine trustworthy cop. Dana just wants to take credit. Anything good she puts her paws all over it to try and make it look like it’s her idea. And to the other poster totally agree they shoved in a bunch of civilians right before they cry budget cuts. Also I thought civilians weren’t allowed to put merit picks anymore. They love them some consent decree except when it comes to themselves.
Angelo can be made by Chris P aka “Popeye”. Not sure why Chris hasn’t made his kokukla.
Mama real police! Congratulations!
TOLLIVER?She was a watch secretary in 006 forever and then to HQ. Has done nothing besides answer a job and do a case report.
Mamdou is a stand up cop. Even as a “driver” he could out police half the slugs currently on this job. I saw him at DNC putting hands on people….. were you?
That guy was banned from driving by the WC for totalling too many cars.
There were several goofies from his class including Simmons who was another reckless driver and a bonehead.
Rodarte is a real loser and backstabber. Watch your back ladies and gents
She’s the admin for the useless admin of ACH at hq.
VR - 020 ranger do nothing house mouse. Let’s put her in 011 please
Larry???? Unbelievable!!!! How the heck did you think these merits were qualified?? On the other hand he was a gym instructor and they gave him a chance.
Schur the phone guy til recently gets the merit nod?? Another yes man that’s why
She “choose” Snelling’s driver for her pick.
There needs to be a reward for people with 20 or more years on to have first picks to where they GO but no one has fought for this but the dept ends up the loser in the end morons!
Went from sdsc, to captains secretary (which I've never heard of), to sergeant in just a few short years. On the way she tried getting a P.O. fired for stalking (although this probably came about because the captain was jelly) and got caught lying. Thankfully he kept their text threads. He's no better because his wife never knew but this is who you'll be working for. Who am I kidding!?!?!? She'll be the captains (Sgt) secretary. Must be nice to be a "Good, christian, happily married woman" on this job. What a joke!!!
The definition of DEI
If I got the answers before the test I could do it. Have fun baby-sitting a bunch of whiny tik tok warriors.
Nobody wants to be there!
Because he's a Fuckin idiot
A degree was required at one time.
Yea RIGHT!! score higher than them. when they and probably you get the answers from subject matter experts and have all day to study in an office. Fuck you. when they completely take the test away from the bosses, then it will be legit. until then fuck this place and the consent decree.
AGAIN no meritorious from 376? What the Samuel Hipster?
Enjoying retirement so much that you are reading and commenting on the blog? 😂
Her pick is so great and such a great cop and blah blah blah but he can't pass the test and make it on his own 👌🏻
Let's face it, not one person that has worked in 020 their entire career has any street experience
My thoughts exactly! Less than 3 years to go!
Lots of smart test takers but no real police work or abilities to succeed in the street.
I think I have the perfect NPC comment…its not rocket science - signed Anonymous
Mamadou is legit the real police, phenomenal officer and ultimate street enforcer.
Lt needs a degree. Sgt is just 60 credit hours.
Must be a recurring nightmare since your still reading the blog and commenting.. now go enjoy retirement for real and really forget about this place .. its a lost cause and only make you sicker watching it become what it has become and becoming
useless dei hire…
Sgt union doesn’t fight for shit. Time to elect new people
She will be back inside soon enough
Just wait
Will loves to send the picks to the ladies. Winky winky. I feel bad for His poor wife.
Mamadou the best on the list. Great copper and great person!
CPD needs leaders who worked the street.We don’t need more useless bosses with calumet college and online degrees.Paper shufflers aren’t great leaders.
Everyone has 3 choices as to where they want to be assigned. If the commander of that district wants you, you're probably in.
- by Healy.
Loeza? Be careful. Gutless and bitter know it all who thinks he has it all figured out. Guaranteed he will be a nightmare. Absolute clown. He came to midnights in 007 and was hated because he cried about how awesome he was in gangs or wherever he got dumped from and had to be on midnights.. like it was beneath him. Nobody liked him and he sucked. You hated midnights, but guess what slick, back to mids for you as a bottom of the barrel Sergeant. Don’t think us guys with time will listen to a thing you say, we all know how you operate you crybaby. Those stripes aren’t gonna get you anywhere with the vets!!!!
You’re absolutely right. He’s a real Bozo!
Wow! Can I wash his socks?
Sad. Just sad
He’s a good person and works really hard as a detective. You sound very jealous, get a life.
Lay off the soap operas, you may test higher next time, sore loser that hides behind anonymous posts.
Charlie Brown did same for his secretary on the way out in A1. Made the front office secretary a detective. She did her brief training and then straight back to front office as secretary where she runs her wedding planning business on duty. Don’t ask me what she does that makes her so invaluable- seems like she manages to get out of doing a lot of things. This is exactly the kind of job when they are talking about saving money needs to get reviewed. Send her ass to actually work the floor and give the front office job to a civilian or light duty.
You sound really detached

I was shocked to see her name she hasn't sat in a beat car in almost 10 years she just keeps getting pregnant to stay inside.
One of the best humans and workers on the job. Very deserving.
Pruzewski will make an excellent sgt and will not take any bs from the pos. He was always assisting other officers and taking lots of jobs. Wherever he goes they will get a good one. We will miss u here in 004!!! Good luck
Area 4 has been on the decline since she got there ! Allot of good supervisors jumped ship ! And the newer detectives are complete clueless handling investigations without any guidance from the supervisors that never were detectives ! So many good detectives have made Sgt the past number of years but they can't make it back because they don't have that all important phone calls !
Ursitti is completely clueless also !
Part 2 on sergeant test was the application or orders. Clearly you failed it. What did you rank? The 2500s?
10/04/2025 10:49:21 AM
Sorry champion but part two was about as subjective as you can get.
Part one was objective and based on the orders. The test is purposefully designed so the department can get the diversity pool they desire so much.
We all have a bet she’s not going to take it! Also, can someone please have the commanders secretaries and Hernandez from the bike team and tact secretary put their hair up in bun NOBODY CARES ABOUT SEEING THEIR LONG HAIR FLAUNTING IN FRONT OF EVERYONE! Guys aren’t getting flattered How can you ride a bike with all that hair flowing in the air OMG.
Nope. This just another scared dogass that got promoted. Good luck whoever gets him as a supervisor.
Parham can go kick a wall. He will turn on any copper to give himself a boost.
A/1 Commander Watson is no different. She made a desk dolly her merit pick for sergeant as well. She allowed a detective that answers the phone (A.S) to come off of the desk for a few months prior to making him a merit sergeant. She skipped over working detectives’ packets just to make him.
K.I. made it off list. Everyone in the A/1 knows that. However, she has never worked a single case. She’s a detective working as the A/1 Detective Commander’s secretary.
Thanks Mamdou. Now let’s see where you end up.,
He went for answering the phone straight to a homicide team for two weeks just to make his merit promotion look legit. He’s done nothing.
He was like that on the watch? Here we thought he was just an idiot that loved telling war stories. I never saw him do anything but complain.
You are all correct. A real hard working weasel. Nobody is jealous of the clown king.
watered down sgt exam and watered down sgts yall shell get...
you can tell the quality of the sgt from the latest classes have gone down.
Jeff "I am a Marine" Dohnal made it...good luck to district wherever he lands....
he's gonna tell you his "war stories"...
If you want to be put in, just go to Clark-Henson. Become her admin. And believe me you won’t be doing any work. Dana and Clark-Henson manhandles this superintendent. Some
of these merits have not seen the streets. Look up their complimentary history. Some of them have 2 lmao. No worries her admin will be back as a Sgt. Make DEI Great Again!!!!
how fucking dare you talk shit about a swat OPERATOR.
they make the unknown known.
they fight the demons you hope don’t exist.
they train. they lift.
they are the ultimate warrior.
kneel before your god, peasant.
Same old house mice making the list.
Some got 5-6 years otj, mostly spent on CST, Summer Mobile, or other desk jobs.
Signed... Jeff
Congrats to all my fellow juice babies. May you flourish and show people how hard work is really earned. Now maybe I can get my nephew on the next round of merit picks to make sure the family tradition stays strong .
Now promote me you fool!
One of the biggest douches on the department
Dude with the tattoos? He’s afraid of his own shadow.
Neither have ever been the police
The fuck are are you on. That test was hard. You’re just dumb.
Commander Watson is that you?
This post has nothing to do about hair. Do yourself a favor and worry about yourself loser. If you’re a supervisor, do something about it.
Get off of this enjoy retirement 🙄
With so little street experience, how did they score higher than you?
RP from 017? Knew him from 009. Good dude.
Exactly everything you said. I remember KC. She’s the real police.
Gents… She will be back in 020 in no time. All that time “working” inside to study. What a disgrace this department has become. Three years left !! Good luck to the Sgt’s who are actual workers!!
90 percent of promotions are due to political clout, being related to the right people. If the cpd was a corporation, it would lose money and be bankrupt. Yet all these white shirts believe they earned their spot! Hell, the WWF might be real. Get to Florida, Texas or wherever. Don’t walk, run
hey burke, I want my envelope back, I'm not on the list
JP from 022. Good guy when I was there. Personality of a wet sock though. But I respect him pushing that beat car & not being taken care of in that dump of a district. Just go on a roller coaster already or something & loosen up
Just be careful when he stares into your soul.
Well then he can partner us with Mason-Jones she’s a dog who’s been hiding inside for years.
Congrats Latonya. We are proud of you.
Tolliver did absolutely nothing in 006, she was a watch secretary the two seconds she was in patrol. Then she conned her way to HQ where she did nothing but push paper behind a desk and when she got Kicked out of HQ for a summer she jumped on the medical the entire time until she conned her way back to HQ again. How much do you want to bet she goes and sniffs around Clark Henson office to try and make her way back to HQ right out of Sgt training? Is this really where the department is heading? These street cops are going to eat her alive and she knows it.
