How bout we give em some advice we all learned along the way.
Keep the W/C informed on events you may feel are small. The small things tend to get bigger.
Don't take short cuts, it'll bite you in the butt everytime.
TREAT YOUR MEN AND WOMEN WELL. Help them when you can and thank them for their efforts. When an officer(s)made a good arrest, take the time to ask for a package and write that honorable mention. If they don't get it, at least you tried. Just writing it tells them you appreciate their hard work and efforts.
LEARN TO COUNT TO TEN and don't admonish people on the air. In many instances, you'll get pissed off hearing how a job is being handled. Take the time to go to the scene, and observe what is happening before you spout your opinions and start giving orders. Still, when you see the need, grow some and take charge. If you arrive on the scene with your men and women at the same time, you go in first. Some of your guys and gals need help, still other officers are incredible and can be an asset in handling a job. These officers have years of experience and are appreciated by good supervisors. They are your go to people, give em a break when you can and TELL THEM you appreciate them. Don't micro-mangage. Many of your officers missed being in your spot by only a point or two.
Just because you've been promoted, sorry funny face, you still don't know it all. But take the time to study and keep up on the changes in the orders. Ask a fellow sgt. for advice or help when you need it. No one knows it all, cept Seiser.
Pursuits-calling it off and locking up an officer are two of the worst things we have to do on this job. But the time may come when you'll have to do it. These are tough calls,but it comes with the job.
Good luck and thanks for adding to my seniority.
Sorry OFF TOPIC:
Some Givebacks for Future Promotees under Deal
By REUVEN BLAU
“The Captains Endowment Association July 26 reached a tentative 101-month contract that will provide members with 37-percent salary increases, partly financed by extending tours AND REDUCING annuity benefits for NEW promotees.”
The Captain’s Union in New York just settled a new contract. ONCE AGAIN as many police and fire unions around the country are doing is “bending over” to allow a “two-tier” system in benefits and wages that basically screws the new guy.
I hope that our bargaining units don’t cave in to the same practices. If this practice continues we will see that working as a police officer 20 or 30 years from now will be as shitty as it was in the 1890’s. We have to just stop thinking of our selves and think of the future generation of police officers, possibly our own sons or daughters.
(Check out Greg Bella’s column in last years FOP bulletin from June 2006 at:
www.chicagofop.org/Newsletter/2006/062006news.pdf )
the old timers didn't abuse the medical , always ask to leave early and put in for overtime if they worked 15 or 20 minutes over their tour or missed lunch
12 days medical for all new po's
5day work week new po's can have mon tue tue wed etc i'll take sat sun with 20yrs on
As of July 31,2007- 120 days have elapsed since Superintendent Cline's resignation.
30 AUG - Thanks for the advice.
Pray to GOD you dont have heather Daniel for anything. Nice lady but knows nothing about being the police
Good luck to all new sgts. You will be fine leaders of men and women. Tom Flaherty will be great. Excellent copper, outstanding detective, great guy.

The current system of "30% meritorious" for promotion to the rank of sergeant is one of the greatest contributors to the demoralization of the rank and file. You may not like the test system that is in place however there are plenty of people who studier their asses off and placed well enough to be promoted. Your broad sweeping generalization that everyone is a juice baby is getting tiresome and boring. Be original and offer some meaningful criticism of the system.
My advise to you is either study harder or kiss ass better.
I agree with Wed Aug 01, 03:03:00 PM
The current meritorious promotion process is wrong and we all know it. Sad to say, it will always be here. Every unit and/or district has its scholarship people, as well as every rank. I studied and made sgt. on my own and don't owe anyone. I can also sleep at night knowing I'm not taking someone's spot. Study.
But if you don't get your promotion, there is no excuse not to be using the city's money to get an education. For tuition remimbursement, everyone is eligible. The city paid for my undergraduate work as well as my graduate. Tuition reimbursement is the great equalizer, use it.
Only 30% merit my ass,this is Chi-town,the center of the universe in corruption.I would have a hard time believing 70% merit/30% legit.
Everybody wants to say they made it legit(chinaman).
The test is a fraud like everything else in Cook County.
70% legit,kiss my ass.
Tim Wieglen (014) and Tom Stack (015) will make grear Supvs. Both are good guys, smart and good police officers. Good luck Tim and Tom.
