Unannounced Changes

Popping up in a few comment sections, some changes that are being made under the radar:
  • Tobias takes over Keating's spot at Central Control Group. We thought that spot was reserved for a sergeant, but we guess not;
  • Kirby moves into the Brust vacancy at Professional Standards. Does she have to worry about a sergeant hiding 30 or more CR files while being paid for work he wasn't doing anymore?
  • Price leaves Intelligence and takes over Legal Affairs;
  • Rejoice 017! Mealer is leaving the District to take over Intelligence;
  • Lt. Melissa Staples takes over 017
Can anyone verify these and any others in the works?

STAPLES IS PETERSONS GIRL.

IT LOOKS LIKE PEOPLE JUMPING SHIP EXPECTING CHANGES AT HQ.

EXPECT CLOUT DICKS TO BE MOVED BY MANAGEMENT TO THE PRIMO AREAS.
BE AWARE ALL THE AREAS HAVE USED UP THEIR SPOTS AND HAVE 2 MANY PEOPLE IN CHOICE SPOTS ON MANAGEMENT.

ANY 1 AT FOP WANT TO STRIKE UP VOTES?

Staples was penciled in for 23 but Bohmer (SIC) decided she was going to pull the plug in a couple months and did not want to take the Intel spot, so Mueller was moved instead?

Is there any coincidence that Kirby and Tobias are both leaving their current spots at HQ and moved at the same time after being hidden for spoo long?

Did the federal statute of limitations run out on the SOS case?

Is it a favor from the mayor and/or Weis for keeping quiet all those years before they both depart the CPD?

Not sure, just asking

True enuff but the same as it ever was, Lt's slugging it out in tuff Districts being sent to be W/C's all over yet you take someone who is Petersons Girl that had a cush spot Asset Forfiture and make her a commander. Granted she did do some time in 11 as a Sgt. and A4 as a Lt. but a District Commander is commanding Patrol. I guess the real workers in the trenches get Passed over again. So to all the Red Headed step child Lt's out there who just took another kick in the teeth, do your 20 and get out while there is still a pension because the chosen ones are going to get that exempt pension not you. 17 is still lucky to get her it's not her fault someone took care of her who would turn down any spot if offered.

BARELY ever worked the streets, always taken care of by clout, starting right out of the academy with the blessing of Miriam Santos. made Lt. a few short years after making Sgt. - things that make you go hhhmmmmm???? that said, shes a very nice person but all you people saying she cut her teeth in Fillmore are sadly mistaken...she really hasnt cut her teeth anywhere but the clout teet.

The only reason I will carry $200 in my pocket when I retire will be for bond money when I run into Mealer.

017 was once a very fun and close knit district to work in. Bosses were terrified of Mealer because he made Liebert an example by dumping liebert who wouldnt play Mealers bullshit.

Too bad many of the coppers in 017 have lost all respect for the bosses in 017 due to the fact that they were terrified of Mealer and would mess with the troops.

All I can say is thank God. May I never have to look at that RAT FACED Mealer again!

Dear Co Staples.

017 is broken. All you have to do is have the bosses treat us nice. No backstabbing. No going out of their way to purposly mess with a copper.

Try having them make roll call fun. Send us out on a positive note. You will get whatever you need/want just by doing those few simple few things.


A real Boss doesnt have to ask. The troops will automatically do it for you just for being nice.

All bullshit.

No one is moving. JFled is going to gut the exempt ranks in February, demoting at least 20 exempts. He wants to show the citizens he can save them money if they keep paying him 300k a year. It also gives him a chance to get even with his enemies.

All deputy chiefs will be demoted to rank.
TRU, MSF, and Gangs will all merge under one Chief who reports directly to JFled and Goldstein. Chief of Strategic Deployment is the name being tossed around.
Gun teams gone. Narcotics severely reduced.

Three divisions for officers. Patrol. Investigations. And the newly formed Strategic deployment (ie. Every Unit) which will be directly under JFled. His own little brown shirts.

Expect MASSIVE dumps in February.

From a real mans view: I've had the pleasure of knowing and working for Lt. Staples for a little over a year. She has nothing but best interest and concerns for everyone she commands. She is one who takes care of buisness and is one of the hardest working people I know. She is intelligent, and is usually 4 steps ahead of anyone. She is a person who will look you in the eye and tell you like it is. Whoever's girl she is doesn't matter. Trust me SHE EARNED IT. If you do your job, you will have no problems. If she gets 017, I will be saddened to see her go, but 017 is getting one of the best. I hope her replacement is only half the person and boss she is.

Sounds like she did a good job protecting the crime scene then.

Apparently you weren't listening in the academy. Immediately cordon off the crime scene to keep the animals (and your friendly PO or boss) from contaminating it. Make it big. You can always lift the tape to let the ambulance out.

You must be one of those idiots traipsing through the scene getting shell casings stuck in the tread of your shoes.

From a real mans view: I've had the pleasure of knowing and working for Lt. Staples for a little over a year. She has nothing but best interest and concerns for everyone she commands. She is one who takes care of buisness and is one of the hardest working people I know. She is intelligent, and is usually 4 steps ahead of anyone. She is a person who will look you in the eye and tell you like it is. Whoever's girl she is doesn't matter. Trust me SHE EARNED IT. If you do your job, you will have no problems. If she gets 017, I will be saddened to see her go, but 017 is getting one of the best. I hope her replacement is only half the person and boss she is.

Why you ask, well here it is, he constantly undermines Georgas and goes right to J-Fed and Ray Ray and Masters. He is a good guy but very stuborn, due to his military background. Georgas can't wait to sever him from his commander spot and Georgas has big Greek juice, all these Greek guys have it, Andrews, Tobias, yes he is part Greek, Many Sgts in cush spots. they got the magic.

I don't know the others, but I'm a no-clout P.O., that has personally worked for Zavala, jackson, and Wysinger. All three of those guys are true CPD. First time I met Zavala he went out of his way to help my team and I. The result was numerous positive search warrants, and a great C.I.
J.J was in 11, and theres not enough room on this blog to talk about the P.O.'s he helped there.True story. Once I was walking with another P.O.. He called out to another P.O., whose name happened to be "Jimmy". At the same time Jackson was walking out of 11. He turned and said, "What's up guys, what can I do for 'ya?". Sound like a jackoff to you?
As for Al Wysinger. The man never helped me directly, but he was always down for workers and trying to get something accomplished. These are ,and were good bosses. Im glad I worked for them. They don't deserve bashing.Some of us piss and moan about good bosses
, but don't acknowledge the good ones we had. I'm not saying everyone with a gold shield is great, but c'mon. Typicaly, I sign my name to my posts ,but I'll leave this one anonymous. Take it for what it is.

They are moved from spot to spot to make it appear they are climbing the ranks when in reality they are politically connected individuals being given promotions and all the perks and hefty pensions that go with it. Anyone with any time on the job can see through all the bullshit. It matters not if they are nice, or smart or if they put in long hours, it's an opportunity the average cop will never see. It's a joke and I can never respect any of these so called leaders no matter how much spin you try to put on it.

Because of 3 major idiot bosses in 017 I totally stopped working. I was tired of them and their I am God bullshit. I stood my ground for many years only producing for a boss that I liked. And they put the Kabosh on that as well.


I could care less how a boss got their position. Leave me the fuck alone and you will get what you need to go to your bullshit monthly meetings with...plain and simple. If you want what the other guy/gal has than go get it. Dont bash them for doing what they want/had to. If you want something bad enough you will work for it to get noticed or find the right ass to kiss or whatever if thats your gig.

I dont know this Staples women...however if she doesnt put bosses against me like Mealer and Barnas did, I will go the extra mile. Also If she doesnt listen to a certain Hieght Challenged puke...the watch will run better.

I had a perfectly good working relationship with a boss that was totally manipulated and almost ruined By Barnas and Mealer. I guess they couldnt understand why I produced for her and not them. It was easy, I was left alone.


And for all of you who wonder why I dont photograph events or make videos for Police funtions anymore...Ask the above mentioned names.


The only difference between me and jealous people is.... I have the balls to put my fuckin name on it.

RE: Staples never put a pair of handcuffs on anybody.

You are an ARSE. I know Staples and I know Schmitz. Both working coppers. I have personally been there when she has placed cuffs on people and recovered more than 4.5 million in USC. She has made more of a dent in crime and has recovered more merchandise, cars, dope and USC than imaginable. Schmitz has and will always be the Real Police he has worked the ghetto and locked more than you know, been shot. So you don't know Jack Sh-t. You people kill me. A great person is going to a district where she will treat people like they should be treated, and as always coppers will fu-k that up and talk shit. Taint how she will look at district she will be going to by talking shit, yeah that will make her want to treat people nicely. So what she knows people. Obviously shes a good worker that has been recognized and whomever the powers may be feel that she deserves it. Dont hate because you have not been chosen. Staples and Schmitz are deserving of thier spots. You my friend are a coward, talk shit behind peoples back, post your name.

Great common sense post. Some of these jealous assholes just say shit without any valid basis to support their statements. For anybody, who actually knows anything about Al Wysinger to even suggest he wasn't a hell of a PO is just too fuckin dumb to comprehend. They need only ask any of us who came up with him as PO in 011, when 011 was ELEVEN! Ask anyone who worked tact with him. Ask anyone who worked with him as a PO in Narcotics. Ask the PO's who worked for him as a Sgt, then as an Lt. Ask the guys in Narcotics why, whenever they would heard talk of O'Grady being promoted to another spot, everyone to man expressed hope that Wysinger would replace him. Hate him all you want. But for anyone to say he's not the police is beyond stupid, and only shows
how truly uninformed, jealous, or simply stupid they are.

The issue is not whether or not she is a nice person. It is not whether or not she will do a good job. She may very well be a great person with great leadership skills. The issue is that it is still who you know. A person with no clout and the integrity not to sell their soul for a spot will never be a C.O on this job. The qualified no clout person can pass all tests legit,submit their resume, their activity, and a thousand examples of stellar police work and they will never evn be given a chance at an interview. In fact all their efforts will be laughed at and they will spend their career in a shit district with their abilities going to waste holding roll call and clicking a mouse.The poster who stated that the Lt. in " the trenches" don't do much is correct, other than travel the city to a different district every day,but it is not out of laziness it is because they have been shunted aside and considered irrelevant. I don't know Staples and if she is so great maybe she will give the good officers in her new command a legit chance at a meritorious promotion to Sgt. or a recommendation to a unit,or even training opportunities but I sure as hell wouldn't count on it.

I seldom visit SCC. I retired in August and tend to stop by occasionally to see about any promotions etc. The reason that I tend not to contribute is because of all the negativity, the anonymous negativity.
I knew Melissa Staples years ago, not well but just acquaintances. I doubt that she would even remember me. I am happy to see that she has found her niche as nobody is truly happy on this job until they do. She has done nothing for or against me over the years so I am not going to make any comments, nor do I have much of a dog in this race. This back biting is horrible for morale and is as much to blame for the fall of our department's morale as anything.

A few people much wiser than I taught me as a child that if you are not willing to sign your name to something, then you shouldn't write it or say it. Think about this the next time you have flames burning your tongue about somebody.

And for you to say that AFU doesn't help officers - your an asshole. Your a fuckin disgruntled wagon jumper.

Let's take getting personal out of it because it's not personal. It boils down to fairness versus politics. No matter who you are, you should get an even shot at promotional opportunities and you cannot defend the current system which allows the connected to get merit promotion after merit promotion. If these people are so bright and talented then taking and passing with a top score should not be a problem. It is obvious that some people will try to defend it, especially if they are the benefactor of the current system but it don't make it right. 3x Merit=Clout
Period. It should never be allowed to happen. For those who have already gotten it, grow thicker skin, so you can absorb a jab or two, you "earned it".

If you are going to talk sh## about Staples, get your facts right. Staples was never a detective, she made sergeant on her own. She was in the high 280's on the list because she ranked a couple places behind me.
Staples was a merit Lt. She doesn't lie about it and will tell everyone who asks. As far as hugging the Supt. Doubt it. Staples doesn't kiss anyone's ass. She never has and never will.
