One of the amusing things about this site is the rapidity with which rumors can catch fire and spread. A rumor or a policy decision appears on the blog and suddenly it's gospel. Watch the bosses scurry.
Of course, we should use this power for good once in a while, too. So let's try to find out where this rumor started:

- The story someone posted earlier about J Fed being named in a CR# is true.
Last weekend J Fed, Brust (sp) Skahill and others were in 003. They responded to a call of a man with a gun (domestic) who also fired a shot while the victim was calling 911. The offender was arrested as he tried to run out the back door and 2 guns recovered. Felony charges (convicted felon UUW) approved.
The Officers put J Fed etc, in the case report(not arrest report)as being on the scene. Great job!!
While all exempts were there on scene, the offender threatens to call OPS and have everyone fired. Everyone laughs!
Well guess what..........Momma, who let everyone in , gets a CR with a bunch of phony allegations. Because he's on the paper, J Fed is named as an accused.
Flash forward to this weekend......
J Fed at 003 midnight roll call. He now understands that people make false accusations against officers that are doing the right thing. He is now going to "rethink" their new policy of denying a promotion to anyone with an open CR.
"new policy of denying a promotion to anyone with an open CR"? Where in the hell did this come from? Promotions are granted via test (and political ass kissing). We're pretty sure this would be a violation of a number of sections of the existing labor contracts. Not only that, there is existing precedent of persons with numerous open CR numbers and even sustained CR findings being promoted. We can cite more than one person who was off the job when their number came up on a promotional list and after they got their jobs back, they were in the next available class.
Can anyone cite an actual policy, directive, order or notice that would prevent a person from receiving a promotion based on an unfinished disciplinary process?
