Sergeants Promoted
Someone said there's a list of fifty floating around?
Email it here and we'll post it.
UPDATE: This is all we've gotten and it's barely readable with a magnifying glass:
We can't post what we don't have and we don't have a good pic of the list. This is a phone picture from a computer screen at a poor angle
If someone has a better version or scan NOT taken from a computer screen shot, pass it along. We used to download a .pdf, email it to ourselves, and convert it to a displayable format.

I’m not a huge merit basher. I’ve known a lot of people who have gotten merit who were phenomenal coppers. Then of course you have the many many non deserving. This merit list could be one of the most embarrassing I’ve ever seen. It’s bad.
I see it still pays to be the Supes Driver…
I hear a bunch of people waived it.
Invite more white shirts to the party! The ship is still sinking.
I know I'm not on it....
19 Paul
The U.S. Supreme Court decided to rule against President Trump.
President Trump needs to defy the Supreme Court. Because the President has the authority to write executive orders. The President was elected by the people. The Supreme Court was not elected.
The last sergeant test was an absolute joke. Imagine if two people walk into part two of the exam.
One person studied all the orders, the laws, etc. The second person did not study at all. Both have an equal chance of doing well. How does this make sense?
Sgt's List or do you mean the 'List of Shame"?
Congratulations to Nadia Chikko aka Gloves. You are going to miss that OT on the Mayor’s Detail.
It’s all legit
Boy, are you dumb.
TF does that have to do with this topic? Go play in traffic or something.
Would it still be the “list of shame” if your name was on it? No, you would be telling everyone how you deserved it. Study and don’t be a mush.
Nadia Chikko has no business being the police, let alone a sergeant. She couldn’t find weed at a Cheech and Chong show. Ain’t clout grand!
Thanks for chiming in, Nadia.
Ain't that the truth
According to some at the academy, more than 40 had deferred prior to the publication of this list.
Driver’s and mayoral detail folk making it is a slap in the face to you guys, i’m sorry.
With all the cheating and test material being passed around by gold stars. Merit is the more legit way to a promotion these days. Can’t believe it’s come to this.
More clowns wearing white shirts.
Why is part 2 not FOIAable material. What is this corrupt department hiding?
Don’t waste time studying.
Smh. The usuals got their people in.
And what happens when the Democrats regain the White House? Are you ready for their woke progressive edicts?
AKA I made up bullshit terrorism cases during NATO and was nationally embarrassed.
Sup’s drivers are always the most knowledgeable and deserving of merit spots. Especially leadership positions……Snelling should never use the word integrity ever again.
If she was on the mayor's detail, then she was already making sergeant's pay, so why would she leave that to become a sergeant on the watch in a district? Most likely answer is that she is not going to a district. This is another example of certain people getting pay raises with promotions. She will end up back on the mayor's detail doing the same thing but getting lieutenant's pay now. It's so legitimate, right? Given, not earned.
Right, pick the best answer and pick the worst answer. Most of it wasn’t even order based. My worst answer could be your second worst answer. What a joke.
Like Commander Sparks in Area 4. Her last two detective picks were her office personnel. I’m sure they went above and beyond. In fact, one of them were her merit detectives picks and then she made her a merit sergeant. She must’ve done some great filing work. us sisters gotta stick together. Smh
They have a dumb down the score for part one because half of the PO’s can’t pass it (likely because they didn’t study ) 52% passing score lol. No incentive to study for part one. anyone that does, your wasting your time. The biggest joke was the last detective test 44 questions or whatever it was open book. at least make it at 100 questions. A bunch of numbnuts running the show. Bernstein made money on that.
What number did they reach
Wanna know how bad our juvenile justice system is? The juvenile offender charged with two murders up in 019 and in 002 from carjackings and robberies had 6 carjackings and robberies in his recent rap sheet.. six.. and he is allowed to still be out on the street and ultimately murders two people during robberies and carjackings. Crime started to go up when charging as an adult went from 17 up to 18.. when these kids start getting wild and driving at 16 and 17 and start robbing everyone they get a free year still as a juvenile. They need to go back to charging as adults for ALL felonies starting at 17.
It was a 6-3 decision. Cry harder.
I know I will be on it,,,,,, eddie burke promised ; )
Work 2nd watch. Sign up for all tests and that is your tour of duty. Wellness day 2.0
oh he will :}
The mayors detail gets OT? Interesting, cause we don’t get any at the district. They’ve tightened the reigns and unless u have a late arrest, there is zero OT opportunities.
Somebody’s jelly……somebody’s jelly….. somebody’s jelly……
Have you ever read the constitution?
Silly you!! When you realize she’ll be back there after a brief stint in 003, you’ll see the light and bullshit that goes on.
Yes, it became a shit job.
The dysfunctional department just keeps going.
Is it true they're still at 20+ deferrals on the list?
You need to return to middle school and take a do over.
It's interesting how many people have turned the position down. 8 ? 10 ? That really says something about policing in Chicago.
Even a domestic abuser with a rap sheet got promoted? Was he promoted straight from the call back or they put him back at Area 3 right before his promotion... talking about an accountability.
Did Vhora threw a bunch of parties in the commander's office?
Time to let the president trump make decisions. Congress and supreme court need to butt out.
Sure, go to a dist. for a period then back to the mayor's detail fo some mo o.t.
Lester Scott is a buffoon, a big ol box of rocks. The Commander had no other options besides the guy?? Another waste of merit.
Very true. I have worked with several of these people. Unbelievable
Who’s that
One dumb dude
Clarence Thomas is one of the best ever and the democrats tried to ruin his life for the nerve of being extremely intelligent and conservative.
The merit brain drain continues.
Now, kees me you fool!!!!
That mean Larry leavng in summa
the merit hack medical abuser lockup keeper fake cmdr from 2 picking yet another F medical abuser - god help whoever gets her
Literally a personality test and easy to know what the dept wants when they tell you how to answer it over the person who studies and actually knows the job
Best way to put it. Completely agree
You don’t think she’ll go right back and make Lt pay? Have you forgot this is CPD
jealous because you’re not killing it or stuck as a PO?
The karate kid has had an easy ride from day 1, even after helping fuck up the whole NATO case. Never a bad spot.
Props to her for making it on score tho woulda guessed it would have been merit.
Sound like a great list? Sups drivers, and mayor detail next will be the guys on ex mayors details getting a white shirt?
I see there’s a common thread with most all of the merit Picks
I stopped caring about this department about 10 years ago. Pay me my money and fuck off with these worthless supervisors. Way to go merit snelling
No one above the rank of Commander should be allowed to submit
merit packages for promotion. No Deputy Chiefs, no Deputy directors,
and absolutely NO CIVILIAN personnel within the department, period.
The best people who would be suitable for promotion (merit or
by list) would be those who have been FTOs for several years.
They already have had experience supervising officers (recruits).
Commanders should only be able to submit merit packages for
people who WORK IN THEIR COMMANDS.
The FOP should propose all of these demands in the next contract
talks.
The CPD merit process is a threat to democracy!
Wait a minute. Mayors details officer gets merit? Bike mechanic from 715 gets merit? Watch sec also??? I have been tact officer working last 8 years and was told I be selected because of the hard work. don’t get this at all…
Been going on for awhile. When Kim Fixx and Larry Lightfoot were around they looked at the color of the Offenders skin, not the color of the victim. This is why Larry closed closed the JISC. First she tried to imbed a racist social agency (LCLC) in the JISC and even most of them after a couple of months realized how messed up the Juvenile system was towards the victims. Yes, it wasn't perfect. Some of the assigned Dets were lazy and worse. (Anyone who went there knows who they were). There were some good Dets and Sgts who really tried to follow the law and treat every incident individually. This did not fit the Democratic narrative. Disbanding the JISC and having the areas, who are already short staffed, do more processing, made it so there was no real examination of the situation and led to more referrals. Cant upset the democratic voters and actually help the victims.
Bolin is a dumb FTO.
You know it’s Nadia congratulating Nadia on this blog because everyone else knows how screwed up that case was. Literally the only thing she’s ever done on the job, and it remains mystifying why it wasn’t tossed out for entrapment. Those NATO stoners were no threat to anyone.
Lakeidra Bolin is the best one on that merit list.. FTO for over 4/5 yrs and knows her ish!!!
Can somebody please post the list?
“According to some at the academy” ??
Name your source. Because they don’t know.
4 people turned it down, and at least 6 more couldn’t get made because they didn’t have the time.
No it doesn’t- they’re probably in good spots.
They can make merit e.t.s too
Nadia, why do you keep bringing up a case that you screwed up so badly? For someone who is only in their position because of clout, you should probably be grateful that you will continue to be taken care of your whole career, with not a whole lot of effort or smarts on your part.
Pay and time off
To all the crybabies complaining, please stop being so damn lazy and study. I know this new generation pretty much wants everything handed to them but you have to put in a little damn effort to crack the top 300
Nadia is honestly one of the dumbest idiots I have ever seen. I been here for over 30 years.
Anyone know what # they are rank and order after all the deferrals etc. ?
Sure,
Bolin
If you get a merit from herbie from 002 you are automatically a $hitbird of a person.
It’s on top of this thread
He must be excellent with hand tools lubing chains
They never merit promote the actual true workers. There's only ever just a small few. Ive known great merits, but cmon...these goofs? Johnson and Wallers people gotta get their due first, always. Then the decent workers come later. If any. The process is backwards.
If Ralph Macchio and Jim Carrey had a baby
It’s getting time to retire when I don’t know anyone on the list and only know who Chikko is. I’m sure it’s filled with inside people and six year wonders who will be responsible for making all the wrong decisions.
No, most people just didn’t have the time on the job which is why the deferrals were so high. Not the case anymore.
Around 193.
Only a few did. Most deferrals are because of the time on the job requirement.
You may have been lied to.
Dude you are a looser, just like saying Madagin as well
Oh stop lying.....simp
Funny how new unknown people get access to assignments and opportunities no one else even heard of ! Of course she knows somebody or did somebody
Hahah. Lester Scott. A lot of things I can say about Lester. He’s not all bad, but he shouldn’t have been the merit pick of A/1. Plenty of great people with time on who have been humping homicides for years and looking to move up. And you take Lester who blows off most of his cases. Nikki Watson strikes again…
Wait. An FTO for 4 or 5 WHOLE YEARS!?!?!? Wow, we’re saved!!!!! Gimme a break. Most below 10 years have no business being a sergeant yet.
Off topic: Rumor going around 3 that the XO - Capt bought certain females Valentine’s Day gifts. After providing the gift he made the officers give him a nice firm hug while he rubbed up and down on them. What a joke.
His brother pitched for the Cubs so more than one boss runs to the turlet and cranks one out whenever he drops a baseball story....that has nothing to do with him.
Neckerman had to take care of his guy
I came on in 1990 and left in 2019. I now know more people in the FOP death notices than the retirement and promotional lists.
Scary.
What ever happened that officer who is suing the City over its Merit process?
Bailey shouldn’t be on this job. She’s a joke and her career is a joke.
You bitch when they are merit and you bitch when they are off the list. Geez.
lol ya right !!!!! HW just like you
Say what you will about Nadia Chikko and the NATO case, but she and her partner did what they were sent to do. They interrupted the violent plans of a group of people who wanted to harm people and destroy property during the NATO Summit in Chicago in 2012. Why else would those people have had the molotov cocktails all ready to go in that apartment in Bridgeport.
You can’t blame her for the jury not being able to understand the complexities of the case. She and her partner saved coppers and others from harm and maybe even death.
Don’t be so hard on yourself…
zoomed in on my phone and could read it perfectly…
It’s all a scam nothing will ever change the more people complain the more blatant these jag bags get with their picks. Surprised Heineken didn’t get a pick in.
This is the most boring class of sergeants to bash or congratulate.
Must be 5-10 year s on the job wonders……
Wow retired 2 years ago and I don't recognize any names. Oh well...carry in my wayward son!
Me fail english thats unpossible!
That bike mechanic is also hooked up with FOP. Check da website hahaha liegit
Hi HO HI HO it's off to the merit list I go, isn't life grand it gives my fingers a break from typing and now I am a sgt see you back at the office
To the goofball who thinks Nadia and her partner saved lives-the stoners they roped in could not organize the proverbial piss up, and were no threat to anybody. They had a few tokes and a few beers and started fantasizing about being tough guys, and were too stupid and stoned to spot Nadia, who had no idea what she was talking about or doing. Her testimony reflected this embarrassment.
Box of rocks-type stupid.
Click on the pics, it clears up focus issue
Probably some of the brightest lightbulbs that ever graduated from Calumet college or Phoenix online college.
It is rare to encounter a supervisor with less than ten years on the job that is even remotely effective and competent. I will admit that our district has some supervisors with considerable time on the job who can't make a decision without excessive delay and consultation. Then, the wrong decision is still made. The other day, the line at the desk was so backed up that the Lieutenant had to call us all in to the WOL office in order to handle all of the arrests while the DSS fixated on a couple of inventories. It's getting unbelievable!
Very true..Bailey is useless..hope she stays away from the liquor bottle
Anyone see the pattern of the nominators??
It wasn’t posted at first, goof. People were commenting because they saw the list somewhere other than this blog.
Great but intelligence and ability is a matter of opinion. If the person making the observation is an idiot, well there ya go!
How can you be promoted if you don’t have the time requirement. You take the test and then just wait to get the time? Makes no sense
Why would you wave the promotion? More money and pension. They must getting better than that in the unit they are currently in Hmmm

Mayors detail gets plenty of OT. reason she should leave is Johnson not going to be reelected and she will be gone
Years ago after Mayor Byrne left office some of the bodyguards left because they had some much time. A few retired with 1/4 million dollars and that was how long ago. Allegedly they started businesses
They haven’t been on the job for 2 years. Lol
It’s at the top of the thread. Tap on it and you can expand it. It’s clear as day
Dude you are a looser, just like saying Madagin as well

I do not identify as a "dude"
hahahahahaha,,,,, looks like one of burke's goffers got his/her feelings hurt,,hahahahaaaaaaa
Nadia already called Guiltymeir for her place in 020. She is too scared to be the real police
look at how much money she made on the detail-who would leave if there wasn't a commander willing to hide her
look at Nadia and Christia Faith complimenting themselves
Isn't Fred Waller retired? He can still get someone a merit promotion? Yes, kids. IT'S ALL LEGIT.
Numerous domestic and racial beefs, topped off with an arrest for slugging the old lady. Still gets promoted because he sidles up to weak bosses and regales them with tales of his athlete brother and hook-ups to MLB games. Come on media, FOIA that body camera footage of the wife’s swollen face and now-Sgt. Loser boasting about his clout. Female officers and Black Officers - here’s a summary of your new Sgt -

Did she deserve it?
She's been putting in some good work at the Area since becoming a detective.
WB is a great guy and will make a great sergeant. Just hope he does not take after his dad.
I don't know any of them. I must not go to the proper parties and golf outings...
CPD has a bike mechanic? Bike mechanic makes merit sarge? Was he tuning up the gold star private bikes 🚲.
Oh, and no one in our generation whined or bitched.
Who Henry Lai? Still sleeping area 5 D unit on midnights
Thanks for sharing gramps
He will in next class.
The caliber of detective from that test is really showing with what has been coming from the Academy ! D unit being run by those that have never been detectives !
how many caps officers in 3? how many hidden in commanders office? does the captain have a secretary? was captain a merit sarge and lieutenant? sounds like a ladies man.
There's an epidemic of supervisors with no time on the job who did nothing but push a beat car handling the most basic of jobs. Even with supervisors with time on, they did nothing their whole careers. People want to talk shit about go-getters, tact guys, and OCD guys but what you learned by doing work is so valuable on this job. It puts you in the 10%. Learning to call the ASA, going to court, constantly doing different arrest, inventories, etc. That repition is so important.
He's a merit detective who wants to be made a merit sergeant.
That guy is a complete head case. Thinks he’s the smartest person in the room and literally has no idea how anything works. Was a Lt in Area 4 but has no idea how the D-unit works. Guys got like 34 years on and is 59. Great choice to make someone who’s maxed out a Capt.
The list wasn’t posted when the original post went up. You should pay better attention.
Hard to say why you'd "wave" a promotion. Just to say hello to it, I suppose.
"Thanks for sharing gramps"
- - - - -
Hey kid, just blink your eyes and it will be over. That's how fast it will happen for you.
Mark my words.
This is the most factual statement on this site in ten years. So accurate and so true !!!!
JJ???? Wow. Medical abusing drunk.
Don Juan Nojobb Says:
Congrats Sgts Best of luck
No. What are you seeing
True story
Next time kid!
Keep drinking the cool aid!
And remember the bosses have your back!!
Bike shop is right next to the vcr repair unit.
He spread that luuube
If I was smart, capable of studying, and could pass tests, I wouldn't have this job. I would have done great in high school and went to a good collage and obtained a B.S. or Masters. I'd be at a 8-4 with weekends and holidays off making twice as much. This job is one step away from working at a post office. If you crack the top 300 then you are the fool for wasting your talent.
You sound like that hand job on A4 midnights. Stop whining and hit the books goofball
The thumbnails on the main page are illegible, but the full images (which come up by clicking the thumbnails) are completely readable. Here is the merit list, which I OCRed with Preview on a Mac:
STAR UOA UOD LAST NAME FIRST NAME NOMINATOR
NO.
16694 002 BOLIN LAKEIDRA COMMANDER HERBERT WILLIAMS III
8097 011 BROWN CHIKE COMMANDER JOHNNY E. TATE
7055 001 CAMEY-SANDOVAL CARLOS COMMANDER SHEAMUS B MANNION
20367 650 KELLY KEVIN COMMANDER JOHN L FOSTER

8758 007 VHORA ABDUL-AZIZ COMMANDER LEWIS COURTS
Just A Civilian (who hopes this is useful)
And then You woke up!
Has to be a joke. Merit for fixing bikes. Have they no shame or is it a F U to the working guys
Yes. It’s next to the vcr repair unit across from the carbon paper storage closet.
point on
Word is the bike mechanic gives good "Lube Jobs"
My sources are telling me that a few of them will have to come off the medical rolls to attend classes at he academy. They will probably be parking in the handicapped spaces.
Bailey made it on her own by score. Don't be too jealous.
Of course...👈🏿
Hilarious how she keeps posting here to bring attention to herself. A legend in her own mind.
No he is still in 189.
Agreed.
You’re a stroke. Study harder next time.
