Commander Suspended?

You think this would be bigger news - if in fact it happened:
  • COMMANDER PENA 010 on a ten day suspension for harrassing a PO
We've never heard of such a thing. You'd think that maybe they'd have been stripped and down at callback. After all, they've done that to Captains before.

And harassment only getting 10 days? Harassment of a female PO? That's setting a bad precedent - anyone accused of harassment from this point forward can expect exactly 10 days. Otherwise there might be an appearance of "favoritism" or "clout" or who knows what.The Department wouldn't want that hanging over its collective head, would it?

I heard there's a lieutenant from six down at callback for pretty much the same thing. Haven't been able to confirm that, but wouldn't be surprised if it's true. You'd think, with an iad background, he'd know better.

Off topic from another day...

off topic but anyone think its strange that the detective who was just fired on friday for taking a pic with a prisoner on the ground with finnegan years ago just had the pic turned over by the feds to the department just last spring??? The last person to get sentenced was in 2011 and the feds said "case closed". Jerry was sentenced in april of 11. why did the feds just turn over the picture to the department in 2013??? Well, Ill tell ya why... Because the feds are still looking into the SOS stuff thats why and are obviously still reviewing evidence etc. Im gonna guess if anything civil rights charges on some.. No statute of limitations on that you know... Im not a conspiracy theory type of guy but why hand over a picture in 2013 for an incident that happened sometime between 1998 and 2003 if the case was "closed" in 2011.. thats a huge question mark..

******************************

You know, I read this in another thread and initially I got pretty mad about it because I thought the author was just trying to stir things up or was just a hater of SOS etc. But, I did a little research, well very minimal research and found the news story about this detective and the details of it. I did also find the numerous stories of the US attorneys and FBI spokespeople saying the investigation is closed as of the end of 2011 early 2012.. So this guy is right, why in mid-late 2013 did the feds hand over this photograph? Especially since they had this photograph during the whole investigation started in 2007 and this photo was found when the feds raided the file cabinets of homan square in 2007. Why over 2 years after the investigation is "closed" is this "evidence" sent to the department by the feds. I agree with the original author, the feds are still looking things over and this case is not closed. No way some fed just forgets to send this or just so happens to find this photo over 2 years later and just sends it over to the department. They are still fishin for something and are still looking into things from SOS, but what is it and why?? Stay tuned??? Anyone have any input or thoughts?

Many who filled out witness statements were dumped to the watch. Veteran officers who were on tac teams for decades dumped with various excuses as to why they were dumped only to be replaced by 3 year wonders who have no clue what they are doing. 010 use to be a great place to work, and will be again once this nightmare of a boss is gone. Keep your head up boys and girls, she will be gone soon.

A merit selection for Det,Sgt and Lt. before being given Commander too. Totally unqualified. I have never observed so many exempts have so little respect for a fellow Commander. Regarding this incident and many others, she simply lacks the character and more importantly the judgement to be a leader-period. What a complete embarrassment bringing such discredit to the department. Pathetic.

10/20/2014 12:33:00 AM -- it does not take much to figure out why the Feds are still digging into the backgrounds of members that still remain working in narcotics at Homan square on teams as bosses and poloce officers to this day. We still have a number of clout heavy assholes left on this job that have been taken care of because of their SOS affiliation and their aligence. I am happy the FEDs are still looking into these goofs.

many of theses officers walk around acting like God most of the time so perhaps this is the wake up call some of them need-- or not. I don't really care. The guy that keeps posting probably works in organized
crime narcotics or worked SOS --I could care less.

l agree that there are times you need an attorney to go after bad bosses. However I wouldn't recommend Herbert or Needham. Herbert loses far more than he wins, is incompetent, and has a adverse history with the union and police officers.
I can't think of any major lawsuit or personnel action he has prevailed in.
Needham and Herbert will turn on you in a minute and will sue a cop at the drop of a hat.
There are far more professional and competent lawyers who have beat the department. Do your due diligence and hire them. Avoid Herbert and Needham and don't buy into Herberts "ex cop/ex states attorney"spiel. He was not very good at either job.

Enough, with the apologizing for SOS! Tim went down for conduct that had nothing to do with the actual SOS scandal. The issue is Classic Cop I Can Handle Anything Mindset. If Tim had kept his mouth shut initially he would not be in the current situation. The photo used is a photo of a photo. In addition the alleged "victim" has never been identified and may be dead by now. The final decision by the Board was heavily influenced by Tim's admissions that the photo was legit. If he had denied knowledge from the start, which would not be perjury, since it is a photo of a photo, the whole case would have been moot.

I understand why it's hard to believe, but here's what happened: Case closed by feds, CPD asks for their files to see what they found out, it takes months for them to do that, then someone at CPD starts looking through the files, then they find the photo, then they have to decide if and how to do something about it, when all the wheels have turned you end up in 2014. The feds are no longer involved, trust me!

It has amazed many of us she has has had ALL of her promotions by merit. What exactly has she done on this job that would considered meritorious action. Known her most of her career and never, NEVER known her to have done anything in a manner that was special, especially innovative, problem solving, in a unique fashion, in the manner of heroism, or anything even minutely close to being a merit consideration for promotion once much less FOUR times. I'm not bashing here I'm just asking. Can anyone, ANYONE out there please explain her exemplary route to leadership in this department with all merit promotions.

Way back when, the Superintendent announced how open and transparent his administration (sound familiar?) would be. With some fanfare he put some hurtles in place and Captains had to apply for command spots.

Days before this was to begin, he promoted Pena and three other Hispanics to command positions, effectively skirting his own rules. Magically, ALL his promotions mirror the voting demographics the Mayor is interested in whether they are qualified or not.

The Mayor and the Superintendent can do whatever they want. Just be honest about it. You'd get more respect.

Besides the possibility of losing the small retro amount, the last few contracts yielded us very similar offers that the city already proposed. We didn't lose MORE per say, we got pretty much what the city originally offered. The wellness plan? I'm not sure, but how does one get FORCED into it? What's next, you must wear briefs, eat only vegetables and can only have sex once a month.

Mario is garbage. One time in roll call, she said she was put in 010 to clean up former Commander Ruiz's mess. On a second roll call, because she was not getting her numbers high enough, stated that with all the money we make, we should be ASHAMED of wearing our uniforms. She made a particular Sgt, (Muniz) her minion and he befriended a lot of POs. When the opportunity rose, this guy began writing people up for the most minute things. This guy had the balls to just sit on ogden all day, loop around the service drives, and sit back at the same spot. Caboodle is his best friend. He is very good on passing down the blame on someone else just so that he can look like the good guy. He's a spineless POS. AND, her little mission team, they are pretty much responsible for screwing numbers here. When, the little team would come in with 5 heads, their Sgt would go back out and look for more activity to bring in the numbers. They were putting the TAC teams to shame with all the garbage, non-quality arrests they were making. 010 used to be a great place to be in. We lost 7 or 8 officers and a supervisor. All within to transfer periods. She is a joke and she should be the one embarrassed of wearing that uniform.

I love Maria's hair style. Tom Cruise circa "Top Gun". Great flick! Anyone recommend an old Navy barber?

Commander Pena took her suspension for sticking a bar of soap inside that teenager's dirty mouth while inside a Chicago Public School, so much for SAFE PASSAGE.

It was earlier during her career as a patrolman!

Da Mayor found out about it and recommended a suspension for that PENA!

According the above article, I guess the city will not be hiring anymore even when we are still short about 1000 officers.

That is a savings for the city of at least 100 million dollars a year.

But based off an article back in 2011 the city is actually saving at least 190 million a year.

190 million from 2011-2014 is at least 570 million dollars that the city has saved and that it could have put into the pension fund.

Knew her as a P.O. or POS in 013th. Dumb as a box of rocks.

That's what makes her qualified to be an exempt.

CFD Commish Callahan will be getting the axe soon for messing with a CFD officer.

Other brass will fall with him - stay tuned.

These guys think they are untouchable because of their daddies but those days are over.

I would think our retro would be more than 4800 before taxes. As of 1 Jan 2014 you should have been making 6 percent more. 2 percent increases for 1 Jul 2012, 2 percent 1 Jan 2013 and 2 percent 1 Jan 2014. 6 percent of 80000 is 4800 due just for 2014.
That does not include 2 percent for the last half of 2012 and the compounded 4 percent due for 2013. Plus whatever overtime/special you earned from 1 Jul 2013 to now.

Hitting on shit Latino and AA bosses is dumb. I am white and retired. We ran into the biggest JO white bosses in number' that would kill.
Most of the white exempts were clouted from day one OTJ. Most where annointed from the 11 th. ward.
Mostly Irish and very few other European names in the fold. Polish was the largest ethnics in Chicago and got few to none. The AA and Latino exempts were golden with the street guys and knew their shit and did not fear shit.
That includes sgts, and Lt'.
The late Lupe Pena was an example of a great Latino boss and person.
I seen many of AA exempts save the jobs of white copper'. They may be all gone but not forgotten.
So, let us just judge a dog ass boss as a person and forget the race bull shit.
Acting like those two JO;, Sharpton and J.J Sr makes you sound like them stirring the kettle of crap.
Peace !

There's precedent..... Henny Penny.
Henny Penny basically wound up with what amounts to a glorified slap on the wrist.
If the shoe was on the other foot and it was a P.O. harassing an exempt what do you think the outcome would be?
Two tiered,double standards, punishment is alive and well in CPD.


What ever happened with her? Did she retire?

If Pena was suspended for the soap incident, then ten days was way goo short. Criminal charges may have passed the statute of limitations but at least z ninety day and a demotion was in order for Child Abuse, Battery of a Child, Aggy Battery (Police Officer in an authoritative position) and Fired for false reporting and covering up a crime, a felony crime. Who else was present st the time? But instead promoted again and again and again and again. Who were her supervisors and bosses? Ridiculous! This was clearly child abuse in all facets. D.H.

Merit promotion is the way politicians control cpd .
Merit bosses do what they are told , don't know how to think for themselves .
Look at patrol division , no supervision , every crime scene on TV , 10-15 officers standing around doing zero , uniforms ? Not one is in the same uniform , pony tail girls , dreadlocks , scraggly beards , hats , no hats , stocking hat ,baseball hat bears stocking cap . Most security guards look more professional . Where are the stumper visors ?

It has amazed many of us she has has had ALL of her promotions by merit. What exactly has she done on this job that would considered meritorious action. Known her most of her career and never, NEVER known her to have done anything in a manner that was special, especially innovative, problem solving, in a unique fashion, in the manner of heroism, or anything even minutely close to being a merit consideration for promotion once much less FOUR times. I'm not bashing here I'm just asking. Can anyone, ANYONE out there please explain her exemplary route to leadership in this department with all merit promotions. Anyone wanting a model to follow in promotion and pay would really want this map to prestige, position, power and higher finance would appreciate it. Dyla Hata

Exempt members receive discipline in seven (7) day increments. Nice try at another B.S. story. Maybe one day a great cuddly fuzzy all over boss will appear and everyone will be happy...

Retro will be about $7800 gross for someone with about 13 years.

That does not included OT, VRI or anything else.

The dumbass who said it was $4600 is wrong. Most likely a boss some day.

On average I am guessing about a gross of $8800 per PO with that amount of time on the job.

I am the dumb ass..I never said 4800 for retro. I said 4800 just for 2014. That is not counting last half of 2012 and 2013, plus any overtime/special..

A commander took a ten day whack? No way. I'll believe it when I see it.

By all accounts, Pena's an idiot who shouldn't be on the department, let alone a command spot.

For all of you white shirts out there who believe you can screw with the troops because you're clouted, think again. Randy Zawa had his ass handed to him in a civil court. Brian "Cork" C. and Alvin C., I commend you on your civil wins against Zawa and Co.. And Kelly B., you disappoint me.

If any of you coppers out there have a jag-bag, talk to Attorney's Dan Herbert or Tom Needham.

10/20/2014 01:32:00 AM

Perhaps a certain LT that they have to hide in the tact office there should take note as well. Karma is a bitch....

Yeah who also perjured himself on the federal witness stand ! And nothing was done about it !

She is such a tyrant and a bullied. I'm glad this is happening to her. Though there's an order only that allows 5 day increments suspensions for exempts. She needs to be demoted!! Also, rumor is that there's a law suit in the works for Military leave incident with another 010th female officer.
