Sergeant "Merit" Letter

The Department is soliciting for resumes for "merit" nominations this week. This ties into recent rumors of an April class. We've heard anywhere from 50 to 100.

This also begs the question of how Rahm is going to fulfill his promise of 1,000 new officers on the street by the end of the year. We pointed out already how the total net gain is around 100 officers halfway to the "two years" promise. The only way he gets there at this point is blatantly lying, which isn't out of the realm of possibility.

Him NOT blatantly lying is only in the realm of possibility when NOT lying benefits his goals.

His lying lies squarely and firmly in the realm of almost certainly......with the above exception accounting for the "almost" qualifier.......

His talents for lying are near or at the top of the list of reasons he was permitted to replace the sagging mumbler......

List still has some life. City hasn't started planning for a new test yet. If you're under 500, you should be fine. Maybe even under 600 depending on retierments/ healthcare options. Good luck!

There are currently 60 open positions for sergeant.

If they did happen to reach the number of officers they said they would hire, the number of sgts would be nowhere near closing the gap on the span of control that the feds talked about being a such a significant problem in the justice department report. I think the final numbers would be around 11,700 pos, dics, ets...(etc) and about 1,300 sgts. Which would mean 9 pos per sgt, which is 2 more pos per sgt than what is recommended. To reach the 7 to 1 number they would need to make 400 more sgts than what they currently have now. Good luck explaining the fuzzy math to the media moving forward Rahm, maybe you can say you made a miscalculation because you were counting on your fingers.

Not sure he said he was going to have 1000 additional officers on the street by the end of 2018. Remember him saying he was HIRING 1,000 additional officers by the end of 2018. Big difference because any officers hired after July 1 wouldn’t be included if he said on the street by the end of 2018 as they would still be in the academy

SCC:
Blatantly lying, while not out of the realm of possibilities, is actually standard operating procedure for the slippery asshole Rahm.
Wake up Sheeple!
That’s a shit sandwich Rahm is force feeding you. No it’s not raining that’s Rahm pissing on you.

. Some exempt “nominators” get to pick 4 “nominees”. Wonder if the merit review board will each get their picks promoted like the last time. It’s all legit.

In this political climate who in their right mind would even want to be a sergeant??? I guess if you’re humping a beat car (zero disrespect) but I’m not signing shit giving my approval on anything some 2 year wonder said went down exactly by the book. I’ll stay in my unit and continue to work my side job and make the equivalent of a sergeant. And without any of the stress it brings. BWC’s footage? ISR’s, TSS cards, TPS reports, blah, blah, blah!! No thank you! Pension bump?? You’re still of the mindset that these asshole politicians won’t tweak them?? Then you must be smoking the same “Cush” as Dude, Inc!!! Keep your dumb chevrons! And it’s laughable how clueless these new sergeants are anyway! It’s all too funny...but it’s all legit, kid!

I thought the sergeant ranks were increased by 112? Why is it only increased by 82 now?

1190 + 82 = 1272 budget strength

Yes, get your packets ready ! Unless your in unit 189. The commander has made it clear that NO ONE IS TO APPROACH HIM OR HIS OFFICE WITH ANY RECOMMENDATIONS !!!! He knows who does what and who is who. No resumes or letters or meetings are necessary. I'm sure he will be sending a few more emails out on the topic. Any email thats sent out at 2 or 3 in the morning I read right away, and follow.

I was told early on in my career if they’re going to make you meritorious they’ll tell you put in your packet. Nobody puts in because the fix is in. They just need “more people to put in” to make it look legit.

Sponsoring DC’s are looking closely at the Activity.
Doubling down on ISR’s isn’t going to cut it this late in the game. It didn’t work for Watch Selection this past round, so I got the itch.

I’m fitting to quadruple the intake by any means necessary to get that 1 Special Ed District Patrol Merit Pick spot.
I ain’t lying, my 3xMerit Commander said so.

I will not feel sorry for that old gunsel that now sits on a milk crate all day and night talking to himself over on 79th either.
I will write him up on all 4 corners ev’r night, ev’r hour if I have to and include an order of piping hot ANOVs with that order.

I dig this last minute sweeps shit.
I live for it.
In 9 more months I’ll have 3 whole years on.

Latest PBPA newsletter says budgeted strength is 1272. Somehow with all the additions to the rank they lost several spots. It was 1190 before rahm announced adding 112 more sgts. Total should be 1302. 30 spots vanished in the last 2 years.

This is utter bullshit! Shakman decree says city has to give the test every 6 years. The next one not due until 2021. Why would they spend the dough 3 years early? The cheating scandal has already been settled.

You completely made that up.

Besides the fact it was almost ten years between the last two Sgts and Det tests, Shakman says nothing about police promotional testing.

One more thing, the city was released from Shakman almost four yers ago.

I was always told that you have to make this job work for you, with that in mind, if someone wants to suck ass for a merit spot then good for them, I'm not mad. We all know this dept is full of shit anyway, whatever you do or don't do has no meaning because this depart.ent is was backwards. At the end of the day it all boils down to bro g able to look yourself in the mirro, if you can then great.

It does, you fucktard. We are talking about the current lists going forward not past practices. Part and parcel of why the city was released from the Shakman decree was because the City agreed to the current hiring interview and concensus NOJO procedures. Check your facts, dumbass!

What in the fuck does that have do with promotional testing you retarded fuck? Nothing.

Tell me what in the fuck the Shakman decree, last updated in 1983 has to with present day promotional lists? Nothing.

Show me in which of the three Shakman decrees is a mandate for promotional testing every 6 years? Good luck stupid.

When was the last time the city put out a NOJO for Lts or Sgts? They don't do it.

Check your facts, you loud mouth retarded fuck.
