Two interesting rumors. First one:
- Sgt.'s and Lt.'s list were done as of Friday but because someone leaked it out HR got pissed and intentionally held it back while they investigate the leak. Apparently, Ladner who was out of town on Friday was not to happy and so the decision was made to hold it back pending investigation.
List won't be out until they feel it is adequate now...
Ladner is a control freak who thinks she runs the entire Department, and it might be true if she has the power to stop promotion lists in a Department that couldn't keep a secret to save itself. Whatever, the list won't be secret unless she releases it on a Wednesday afternoon when no one is looking.
The second rumor is a bit more believable, given the history of the CPD:
- Hey SCC, supposedly one of the "merit picks" you shine the spotlight on ended up taking 30 pending before the Police Board a few days before the list was released, so now the entire merit list is undergoing a serious second look to weed out potential embarrassments.
Does anyone else think that maybe that should have been the first thing done for a "meri-clout-orious" list - a simple background check for open investigations?
