Policing.Lt TP Detail Section to Cmdr Detail Section.Cmdr (PO) Detail Section to P.O. in OCD.(New) Captain Frogie to Cmdr 005Cmdr 012 to Deputy Chief A/3.
"vetting delays" probably means they have outstanding tickets, fines, lawsuits or they haven't taken their Ethics Test yet this year. And they waited until 01 April for payroll purposes.
UPDATE: Here's some of the names from another emailer:
Chris Papaioannou to Chief of Counterterrorism
Karla Johnson to Dep Chief of Constitutional Policing
Lt Tim Parker to Commander Detached Servuces (Mayors unit?)

Parker did a lot of damage to the mayor’s detail. Sad.
Bulnes retired too. Bye bye
Local concerned englewood residents report hearing what sounded like possible high pitched female screaming and sobbing coming from the Lieutenants office from the Area 1 PRT building. 007 responded and coded the job when they couldn’t find the source of the alleged bellowing. One local witness who only identified himself as “Johnny from the bottle gang” said it was a loud screaming of “why, why didn’t I get a gold star again! I’m number one!” This report was not confirmed as Johnny took another hit from the bottle and sadly fell out. The investigation continues but the englewood community remains on edge.
Baier is good. Hard worker, still gets it and expect things from people. I like him.
Congratulations Commander Jackson. God’s speed. You have a full well rounded work history. You deserve it!
Who was the former commander of Detached Services.
Karla Johnson will do well as Dep. Chief of Constitutional Policing.
The Medina/ Blas brothers, cousins and in-laws have to be the smartest bunch the job. They land all of the cushy spots.

The BIA has a Chief, Deputy Chief, Commander, and at least four Lt’s, one who is the commanding officer of confidential, and the unit is still a mess.
The mayor is on a warpath in his administration, He’s foolishly throwing everyone off of the gravy train.
Not 100% disappointed. Most of the promoted have been flying under the radar.
Has Karla Johnson ever worked the street? She seriously has been inside every day of her blessed career.
Yes, all confirmed via email from Larritorious. Lewis was the Commander of Conehead’s Detail. Is he heading towards retirement or another cushy spot?
Command Staff of Thugs! A bunch of garbage! Superintendent Snelling gets me sick! Lost all respect for the bosses when they promoted nothing but garbage!
Tac Lt in 012 is telling everyone he’s Hein’s boy and will be the Commander of 012.
Jonathan Medina to Commander of the Bureau of Internal Affairs. He was a merit supervisor and did very little time in a district as a Lt or Sgt. The guy is a @$$ kissing tool. He loves to jam up officers and frame them. I guess that’s the experience needed to go from Sgt of BIA to Lt and now Commander. I lost ALL respect for how the CPD lets people rise to the top and picks Gold Stars. This guy gets me sick. For all the officers not getting it, guys like this get promoted, while you risk your lives and do good police work. It’s all a scam. Worry about yourself and your family. That’s all you can control. The CPD is only a job, nothing less nothing more.
Lost so much respect for the process.
I’m speechless. Similar to when we went from Mayor Lori Lightfoot to Mayor Brandon Johnson.
So much for great leadership ;(
So disappointed :(
Squad the department is still moving towards stupid, hold me down on a personal at Dunkin’ doughnuts.
I guess we can only get worse.
The following words never fit so good as this post:
idiot, foolish, unintelligent, inept, moron, fool, imbecile, dimwit, nitwit, nincompoop. dork, schmuck, blockhead, cretin, simpleton, imbecile, dunderhead, nincompoop, numbskull, schmuck, twit, blockhead, bonehead, cretin, dimwit, dumbbell, dunce, ignoramus, muttonhead, ninny, pinhead, simpleton, clodpoll, jerk, clueless, slow, thick, fatuous, asinine, brainless, dense, daft, goofy, dumb-ass, gormless, airhead, fatuous, asinine, inane, dunderheaded, retard and dick-head!
It’s official CPD has the dumbest bosses ever.
Your original list had JW to Dep Chief of BOC. That one didn't happen and it's not happening. The word is he's not getting moved up anytime soon. The rumors that came true have been going since last summer. Not exactly something to brag about.
If were not going to have a professional police force, how can I take this seriously.
Mr BIA guy has a big head and is into himself. Great pick!
More than half of these laughable positions should be written out of the budget and replaced with new hire po’s
When an officer commits suicide does that mean the Cmdr Wellness & Support Group failed? We have to work every Holiday does that fall under the Cmdr Wellness & Support Group. Another do nothing position and we know why they were created. All smiles. I’m a Commander now. Everything is legit.
Manipulating testing as well as interview scoring…
…years of promotion abuse some will even consider it criminal BFJoke!
So much for overhauling BIA or COPA. Stack the deck of fairness against the working guy. Promoting the Merit Lt JM to BIA Commander who has a history of not objectively investigating cases and having a predetermined outcome says a lot. I can only hope a higher power steps in and karma comes his way.
Who cares..same ol crap different spots. Some of these spots need to be eliminated..waste of money. Really..you need a Cmdr of the mayors detail?? This Dept is a joke.
Bad management makes bad policy and everything continues. No changes. Nothing to see here.
will the commander of "constitutional policing" announce that it is against the law to allow illegals to enter America then allow them to stay and give them free money, free food, free housing, free medical care and allow them to vote?
RDO cancelled, Can we get a day off to spend with family on the next holiday. FUBAR
Froggy rules
More shuffling of the merit deck.
Now, kees me you fool!!!!
You really never know a person until you have to work for them. What was the Superintendent thinking. Everyone is talking about these picks today. The Superintendent needs to get medical attention because he must be sick or suffering from mental illness with his picks.
Papa is a sellout.
They are well connected. They all know where to suck up to.
The whole place needs to be shut down and ran by the State Police.
That’s how to play the game.
Couldn’t agree more! Nothing but big disappointments. Things keep getting worse and this is what we get.
That’s what the Superintendent likes.
I did as well.
What else is new?
Let me guess you didn’t make it to the detail or got dumped from it.
She’s had enough bites of the merit apple. Clout days has to run out at some point.
The guy openly talks crap about Hein and Stevens constantly in 012
Keep applying bandages in the fucking Internal Affairs.
Make "Town hall" Great Again!!
Snelling, if you are reading this ,Please promote Capt F to Commander of 019!
Let me list the reasons why:
He is a great person who is missed greatly in 016.
He shows up to work each and every day.
He talks to the officers and lets us know he appreciates us.
He shows up to retirement parties and thanks the officers who are retiring.
He likes and respects his office staff
He likes and respects his Caps officers.
He doesn't say inappropriate things to those sitting around him at Compstat.
He does not lie to his officers.
He does not hold a grudge and block your attempts if you want to leave 019.
He shows up every Pride parade and leads by example.
Make "Town Hall Great Again" shirts will be for sale at this year's Pride parade so bring cash.
Sounds like you’re looking to be a driver.
Some are operational, some are administrative and others are both. She has enough sense to know the difference. She tends to stay in her lane. One thing you can’t argue is the fact that she’s very intelligent.
We talking bout Lt JS? Is he still taking rendezvous "lunches" in boys town? I shook his hand years ago and I swear it felt like I almost broke it. Very weak little man all the way around. That's the future of our Dept in a nutshell.
She is a major contributor to the down fall of CPD. Never did anything but mess things up. Destroying every place she got assigned to. Never should have been the police.
Jonathan Medina holds a lot of new secrets.
LOL. Good one.
Bunch of losers. Especially the JM. Corrupt.
Bunch of garbage getting promoted. Gets me sick.
He does what the bosses want.A placeholder. He keeps the broken machine going. Just like his cousins and brothers, he just smiles and wait for his next promotion.
Thugs with white shirts, gold braids and Gold Stars. More incompetence going on.
He is defunding the police department as planned.
Bulnes with a “B”. I could say more!
That’s why opinions vary!!!
Well.. he’s actually right. He’s getting it in the next round.
She is exactly what is wrong with this department. She has been given inside promotions time and time again.
Ha. You must not be in patrol. Tac team? 4th watch? HQ? The academy?? Which is it because on the watch we don’t get the forced days off cancelled unless it’s something big and we go on 12hr days. If you’re not on patrol, we’re not too sad for u.
Bulnes is the goofiest Deputy Chief I ever came across. I tried to think of the word that describes her. Idiot……………
Hard work doesn’t pay off.
Stupid is what stupid does.
Have you not heard they are going to civilianize the whole thing.
Nailed it, FOP,PBPA must fight to end all exempt /command positions. It's the biggest drain on our pension fund. 95% are unqualified. Assign police officers from all ranks to run districts, areas . You will have 1,000's of applicants for these positions for a bump in pay(non pensionable) retire at last rank that you earned. For a car and straight days.
Superintendent is a jerk with these promotions.
🤣
(((Evil woman)))
Hein is in charge and don’t you forget it.
Harold Lewis.
Come back with a part 2. The visual was great.
Connected people suck
I would've simply stated; stupid, dumb, incompetence, shiftless, debase, assbackward, brain dead and worthless.
That good point. What does this unit consist of? Will they screwed the officer if officer has certain feelings of despair?
Gotta pad those pensions! Same shit, different day!
Literally do not know one of those names
Wow! You just figured that out??
Has "his honor" ever looked in the mirror to see HE is the problem?
Other than that, they're OK! ;(
Froggy stay off of the blog!
He’s Adonis wopa
Merit sgt, then #2 on Lt's test. He just studied hard, for reals.
so says the Lt that wants that spot instead
Cmdr of Wellness? Is this an April fools thing?
He tried that shit in 012 & ruined it. Know it all. Actually you’re right, he’s perfect for CPD. In my 25 years I probably know of two dozen bosses of all ranks that are down to earth, humble, understanding, efficient & intelligent, just plain great people. That’s it! The rest are political ignorant hacks that would be nobody’s if it weren’t for this job. And they carry that pompous attitude off duty as well.
What’s this guys story? I’ve heard good things about him from a coworker but been reading differently.
Sellout? He’s always had good spots and never had a bad day on the job.
Anyone who thought he was playing fair hasn’t been paying attention.
In order to “sell out”, you had to have been legit at one point, his future was written in the stars long ago.
Que "The Benny Hill theme" music....
All Police Calendar Holidays will have cancelled RDO's till further notice.
Constitutional policing isn’t far behind. Those bosses must be fighting amongst themselves for who’s going to supervise the 7 POs assigned there.
Civilian director
Chief
Deputy Chief
Commander
3 LTs
4 Sgts
7pos (assuming these are all secretaries).
Heard Nemish Patel of the Mayors unit is being promoted to Sgt.
If you have to ask, you don’t need to know.
Agreed!!
I still remember when Jon was in the 7/11 on 63rd when it was robbed at gun point. He always made a great witness. I never saw someone spend so much time on the desk without working the desk
You exhaustive list is missing “dildo”.
Hahahahahaha!!!
Sincerely, Capt. F’s mom
Deputy chief secretary
Great pick for morale. Well like wherever he’s been. Super smart too.
He brags how he and his merit brother are going to be Commanders within the year.
He likes to be called Nim Nim
Karla ran amok in 005, with multiple officers and supervisors documenting issues and even putting beefs on her. Makes you wonder how someone gets promoted with an open investigation. At this rate, nothing would surprise me, you heard it here first, she’ll probably end up First Deputy or the next Sup. What a complete joke.
Ha. “He tried that shit in 012 & ruined it.” What? Expect things from people? Hahahaha. Trust me, you’re the person in the district that no one can stand. Cry harder, wimp.
no it’s a Hein drinking buddy thing.
All these promotions tell you is that Patrol is for losers. If you’re in Patrol you are screwed, with how they’ve gut the specialized units the ability to advance are so limited that only the GFs and relatives of the bosses go anymore. Working hard in patrol gets you nowhere anymore. What do these new kids have to work towards? These promotions just show that it’s not hard workers but career inside people who are seen around HQ daily. You’d think that Snelling would have used his position to take care of workers. Nope, cast them aside and lets the puppet masters control his Department.
4 and a half years ago he was a Sgt. Unbelievable! No real experience.
Karla Johnson is everything that is wrong with this department.
He once told me you should know the name and face of every exempt. I see kissing up helped him move up.
Take a look at the drivers and the sergeants he pulled- says all you need to know
Sounds like a lot of jealous coppers on this blog… it’s not the bosses that’s the problem with this department it’s the whiny coppers still mad they’re pushing beat cars and can’t go anywhere. Congrats to the promotions.
63 with 36 years on. Waste of a spot. He’ll be forced out in less than 2 years. Smartest person in the room, don’t even have to ask him. He’ll tell ya before you can even think to ask.
He will get a Commander's pension, but knocked down for one day to P/O status, most likely his last day of being carried as working before retiring, and he can be compensated for his time due, p-days, bfd's etcetera.
Jealousy. Yeah that’s it you idiot! How naive are you?
You don’t have to be jealous to call out bullshit when you smell it
He was like #6 on the Sgt. test - seriously what gives? Got the answers? Then merit LT. His bro took 2 merit spots too
The only thing you get with being a 'worker' as you call it is more WORK
Good one, never happen but in a sane world it would
Super smart and super merit
Lil Johnny latched on to Hein in 015 and refused to let go. Openly bashes Hein behind his back but lil Johnny sucks up to every boss in sight. Bro hugs galore.
I guess Officer Wellness is aka for “ I drink with Hein”. Right Commander B?

To be continued......
All clout babies stealing more from the pension
Only one in the bunch with a brain in his head, hope he continues to rise to the top
On the job 30 yrs. Retired for 5. Made rank to Lt. Off the list for Sgt. & Lt. Same shit, different day. Too much merit bullshit. Merit since 1998 because Daley felt too many white males scored high on the test. Yes, the same Daley that is now drooling on himself and doesn't know his own name. Merit has destroyed the dept. Most......very close to all the brass had merit in their closet. It's a sad way to run a department as big as Chicago.
Constitutional policing is full of made up positions for the connected. Look at the turnover of sworn and civilian and the red flags are everywhere. They keep hiring more and more people because they have to validate all these fake leadership roles.
who is really the mastermind behind the promotions?
Most guys and gals that aren’t pushing a beat car know that a majority of bosses are almost completely useless.Not because their jealous, get over yourself Peabody.
Good ole Karla. Never had a hard day on this job. Definitely earned 👏 👌
Papa?? Maybe not a sellout!! Much more a short ego man!! Makes decision without thinking for himself on what’s really the issues - is it the ass kissers or the non kissers?? But since mostly they all kissed ass to get where they are they don’t know much better!!!
“This post was brought to you by honors students from the inaugural Professor Patty Casey study group“
Casey Prep is a scam. Not worth it.
Casey Prep is a scam. Not worth it....
Pay attention to the Lt promotions before this new list begins. Prof Patty had an invite only "study"'group for mostly connected Sgt's on this job. If you think it wasn't worth it go through the first 2-3 lists of Lts class from the old list and you'll see a majority of her invited students on the list. Some were even MERIT sgt's who miraculously scored in the top 50 of the test. The names above are spot on. I'm sure there is about another 5-10 names we could add there.
If you have to ask, you don’t need to know.
——-
It’s all shits and giggles for me.
Oh no!! I thought BIA was dismantled by now… crooked gatekeepers 🤦🏾♀️
There are a few that was meritoriously promoted that was well deserving and benefit to the department.
Cmdr of wellness? Let me show you how to properly give that massage Officer LOL
Can someone now take all those potted plants and CPD recruitment tables out of the fucking police academy? It's supposed to be a police facility not a public school or Planned Parenthood facility. Embarrassing...
Hey SCC, serious question. Can we compile a list of qualities that makes a “good” boss? It will make for a great post to read. Or a list of things that automatically make them a bad boss?
There are a few that was meritoriously promoted that was well deserving and benefit to the department.

Let me help you, homie.
***There are a few exempts that were meritoriously promoted that deserved it and have been a benefit to the department.***
little Richie started merit for Lt. in 1995 .
Only 2 male blacks were in the top 65. None of little Richie boot lickers,just Sergeants that studied their butts off. So ,this was the start of destroying CPD. Back then a few Asian , Black, Hispanic and Whites. Today ,it's90% Black and Hispanic. DEI , not a term used by Dr.MLK. He wanted equality for all, not unqualified people.
It did not. Had JW to DC Street Boss and DC Tate to OCD.
Two things can be true at once: Many coppers are whiny and many bosses have no idea wtf they’re doing.
Spot on. Merit has destroyed the dept. How can the department justify promoting officers merit Sgt to merit Lt to then commander or above? We da best but can’t pass no test.
Plus he is not a PO, he is a security specialist. If it was really a demotion, why would you give him Sgt’s pay. He is just getting the maximum amount of money for him to sell back furlough, bfd, personal, and comp. Glad to see that Snelling, after nearly a whole year of the policy being implemented where a PO can no longer become a Commander, that the PO who was a Commander is “demoted”. This job is a joke.
