Promotions (UPDATE)

Looks like the promotions went through and the commentators excusing the delay were mistaken. Anyone have a copy without employee numbers and such?

The list has the merits and nominators listed separately so McCarthy's policy is still around. That's refreshing.

UPDATE: List is in the comment section, two-thirds of the way down or so.

They made a merit FTO. So many questions. Why would you waste your phone call on that? Do we really want an FTO who couldn't pass the test on their own? Why would an exempt think this is a good idea? Wasn't our training ripped by the justice department? This is just a horrible move.

Wow, there are some real winners on those lists.... especially the merit. “Lt.” A.N. nominated by Escamilla? How does Mr. Quota get a pick, let alone a clown like A.N. Then there’s “Sgt.” P.J., how does a guy who should have been fired get a merit promotion? Only in CPD I guess, nothing but the best!

Also if you get into it he's the man you want on the scene when shit gets out of control, he backed me up at on a couple of calls glad he was there he really knows how to handle the situations when they get out of control. To him congratulations if someone's going to get a merit spot he definitely deserves it not because of connection but because of the person he is.

PJ should be fired not promoted, he barely missed loosing everything, but thankfully all those trips to Chicago Bears games paid off. I know Leo, fat Phil, and Nick R enjoyed your generosity Pat.

Here’s some advice PJ, when you’re a Sgt, do the exact OPPOSITE of what you did as an officer. The next kid will actually get fired.

I don’t know the guy who was driving the covert chasing the gangbangers with the rifle what got shot at and I’m glad they didn’t get seriously hurt. However he had a PPO with him and broke several GO’s and you promote him meritoriously??? With all due respect he should have been disciplined not promoted. In a few months this guy will have a team of young officers under his direction real smart. Waiting for a promotional off a list and then seeing who they make infront of you is ridiculous.

This round of promotions goes to show you that cheating does pay regardless of cheating thru merit (politics and favoritism) or cheating via study group run by SME subject matter experts ( a few of them Sgts go to work in CAPS) how does a field sergeant get to finish Sgt school and then go directly to CAPS or front office. Just remember the new CPD culture is once a cheater always a cheater most of these promotions will go to unworthy hacks and is a kick to the balls of every ethical working copper. But you heard it hear first keep your ears peeled for any of these new LT’s to get caught up in some shit from HIS past. If you have 20+ years then its time to get out before the stress of this job and its BS leadership kills you. There have been a ton of unfit and unqualified supervisors making LT good luck to coppers working for them. It’s time for a new test in 2018. I guess Bernstein will charge $1,500 for part 1. We need independent testers and testing facilities free from CPD interference.

There should be a letter from the merit board ripping the promotions and how they were recommendations were ignored. You were simply pawns in the system.

You want officers to stand up and do the right thing on the street, but you are afraid to lead by example while sitting in an office building. Poor leadership. It's never wrong to do what it right.

Now all of you have to decide on whether you want to be "supervisors" or "bosses". Bosses look out for the troops, supervisors look out for the company, both are necessary.

Jaycox. Banned frm testifying in any court procedure, should have been fired or indicted had he been a trooper or a suburban copper. Cream rises to the top, here at the CPD, wtfs the point merit criminals promoted by other criminals. CPD is a joke, the Mafia is more legit.

I thought the merit process included that the nominator had to supervise the candidate? There are numerous merit names that were submitted by someone outside their chain of command. SGT from the academy put in by the CMDR of 025, that sergeant has been at the academy for years and before that MSF, yet a CMDR who has not supervised him in years if at all, can submit him. It's a slap to the 025th District sergeants, but I thought the process was supposed to catch that. The Department is reforming right?

Also, SGT Y.T. from HR was put in from the 002 CMDR yet SGT Y.T. has been at HR for more than two years, once again, that CMDR hasn't supervised her in years.

HR and the AG are siting in the room, does anyone check on this?

11/18/2017 12:23:00 AM

First off, you are an idiot! Secondly, that FTO you're referring to is a leader among men! Truly the most deserving person to ever be handed such a position! I for one am glad he scored so poorly on the Sgt's exam enabling him to fill one of these spots. Don't let his lack of knowledge cloud your judgment! And a heartfelt thank you to Mr. Sanchez for sifting through all the options and truly picking the cream off the top.

There’s no sense in complaining because this department has always been who you are hooked up with and connected to. It will never change and yes it is unfair but drinking buddies and golf buddies and relatives are always going to be promoted over you. It’s a way of life in Chicago and unfortunately it’s been going on for over 100 years . Politicians get called on cronyism but for some reason the police department can Blatantly get away with it. The merit system was never legally challenged and there’s no written policy from one person to the next or the reasons why they get promoted.

Congrats to those who have worked and studied hard to make it legitimately in a very non legit department. Some good people on the list. However, a few questions.... Can anyone shed some light on whether any of the merit folks have actually done anything deserving of such? How does Betts, after spending a few plus years as the Cmdr of 015 nominate someone from 002? Another "Noble" move? And how much time will the other "Chizler" daughter spend in a district before being whisked away to an inside spot far removed from the dangers of the mean streets?

Rumors suggest that due to the budget issues this list will be up for a few more years. As long as the city has a test completed before the end of 2019 they well ahead of the last 9-10 year wait period between tests. The first class off of this list came out in April of 2015, which means the list is not even three years old yet. Another 400-450 more sgts off this list and in 2020, the first class should be coming out off of the 2019 Sgt exam.

The kind of message they want you to get. That rules don’t apply to them and that they can violate them and get away with it and there is nothing you can do. They can do as they want. Merit promotions is an example. Probably 80% of those promoted by merit were not promoted for the reasons merit promotions were put into place. The violations are so blatant and they don’t care or try to hide it
Rules only apply to ranks below sgt

Lesson on merit:

1. It's not legit

Ex: a Chief asks a Cmdr.,ex: Cmdr from 014, to make his girl merit Sgt. with all 9 years on. Her duty at that time is an inside spot in the district. Of course this girl never worked for the chief, which is part of the criteria, but the chief is good friends with the girls mom, a retired capt. A bonus is that the girl's dad is a retired Lt. So who cares about the stringent guidelines. After a VERY brief stint in a district, the esteemed merit Sgt., with all that experience and knowledge as a police officer in patrol now works for the Chief inside his administration office. You would think someone so intelligent would have made it by score.

And that's you you get merit promoted

So those of you busting your butt making arrests, doing ISR's for the boss, bringing in numbers and pro-active for the tact Lt.,, and basically putting your life on the line, remember how merit is actually made.

Stay fetal my friends.

stay tuned for lesson 2.
Hint: nepotism continues



End of lesson.

So instead of staying in house and promote one of your 002nd district sgts you decide to give it to someone who doesn't work the street, has barely ever worked the street and doesn't work for you in your exempt position in 002. It's an absolute slap in the face to every Sgt in 002 who works for you everyday that you bypass all of your people and go outside the district for a "favor" promotion. This is what's wrong with merit appointments. I'm not 100 percent against them but in cases like this it's absolute crap. Complete slap in the Ave of every Sgt in 002. And if you try to claim that you put in 3 sgts for merit nominations and tally then don't waste our time. We aren't dumb. You know as well as I do that Talley was chosen and she was going to get picked.. so crystal, who called you for this favor? Was it Al? Eddie? Maybe the alderman? You should be ashamed and if you are a Sgt in 002 I wouldn't do a thing for the camel jockey commander from now on.

That loudmouth Amy kessem got merit Sgt???? Wow.. just absolutely sitting here with my jaw on the floor. Just as bad, Rodney "the hater" Hill... just don't even bother with this guy if you have a light skin color. Third, Ivan Ramos? This guy should have a pretty lengthy IR number but his daddy who is retired CPD always made sure he was taken care of. Ivan is a loudmouth who I'm not even sure knows how to read or write. I worked with kessem in the past and of all the people in 016 looney could have picked he picks her?? She is the worst. Watch out troops, she's a know it all who is never wrong.

He was always out on the street with his teams and made sure you never stepped on your d@$# and if so, helped you get threw it. An awesome leader, person and what this department needs more of. Well deserved.

Read some orders before commenting. As long as the department approves it there is no violation. Plus she made it off the rank list so stop hating.

They made a merit FTO. So many questions. Why would you waste your phone call on that? Do we really want an FTO who couldn't pass the test on their own? Why would an exempt think this is a good idea? Wasn't our training ripped by the justice department? This is just a horrible move.

I do not mind merit if the person deserves it. If the person is a worker. If the person has done something good in their career. However kissing booty and rubbing the right elbow's to get promoted in my opinion is bull. However that's the Chicago way. So if you want to be merit start smooching and rubbing The right elbows and you can be Mert too. Its shame and a sham

Most of us are hating his guts not because he’s a hard working or a great guy in general but when it comes to selecting between him and other equally good candidates, your buddy gets the magical merit points via his political connections. We will be having the same rant post when he makes lt, guaranteed.

Rumors suggest that due to the budget issues this list will be up for a few more years. As long as the city has a test completed before the end of 2019 they well ahead of the last 9-10 year wait period between tests. The first class off of this list came out in April of 2015, which means the list is not even three years old yet. Another 400-450 more sgts off this list and in 2020, the first class should be coming out off of the 2019 Sgt exam.

Wow, there are some real winners on those lists.... especially the merit. “Lt.” A.N. nominated by Escamilla? How does Mr. Quota get a pick, let alone a clown like A.N. Then there’s “Sgt.” P.J., how does a guy who should have been fired get made



If you are saying this about A.N. It means you have never worked with him or for him. I worked for him in 005 and then MSF the man is solid. Congrats to him

Yep, I worked for him. Just because he got shot doesn’t automatically qualify him to be Lt. He let his boy “real talk” run wild in MSF and area 5 Saturation and got him promoted too. He’s clueless, he talks a good game and that’s about it. Seeing as his sponsor is Escamilla, it really says it all.... one merit jag off hack sponsoring another

Don't do anything in a corrupt police dept. Get it.

When will the Department finally call these “merit” promotions what they really are? Promotions for the connected. They must be exactly what they are when Exempts are allowed to submit the names of members who aren’t even under their command.

Even worse is the fact that civilians like Wynter Jackson who is the head of Management and Labor Affairs are allowed to meddle in this process. This woman never has and never will be the Police. How is she able to make any determination as to the abilities and/or qualifications of any Officer, let alone the one she anointed?

Funny how these merit picks came out just hours after the Sup sent out an email about working with the Attorney General to form a consent decree that is being gesigned to make the Department more professional and transparent.

Don't forget that they scrapped the current merit Lt list with over a dozen people still on it who were all rated in the top tier for this new list, the reason? They were white, and they had already made every minority they could find that had a pulse, with none left to choose on that list, so it had to be scrapped. They were supposed to chose all people from the top tiers first (their rules) before picking from the lower tiers, but that means nothing on this dept. they should stop trying to make the process look legit and just tell everyone they are picking who they want, it would be easier to stomach....
