RE: Executive Meeting w/ DCAS on 3/22/18

I love when people on here put "take it or leave it" after there post as if that is suppose to add extra truth to the lies that u are spreading. There is not a chance over 200 people scored a 95+. Just wait for the list and stop spreading fake news.

After. The 1287 is the final list. I also saw the list but didn't want to add that here. It did not have list numbers because all of the points are not done being added. JST is done and Vets are coming up. I can't speak on medals. Once all of that is added then the list is sent back to DCAS to create the list numbers and then the OFFICIAL list with numbers is sent back to the department. The department will then do the IAB and OEEO checks for promotions and a BMOC class will be made. The rumor is end of April for Lt BMOC but don't be surprised if its in May. When the Sgt list was published the IAB and OEEO checks took less than a week and the class went in the following week so you never know. But for those looking for an actual number of Sgts on the list it is 1287. Before anyone starts talking about the list being cut, there is no talk of cutting any promotional list. DCAS will not administer another exam until the list is almost exhausted. If the 4 years is up and there are still ppl on the list, it will be extended. This new process just sucks for those who are waiting to take the next Sgt, Lt or Cpt exam.

Can anyone tell me how many promotional exams were extended in the last 20 years? Its a pretty easy answer...

The job will not run a list 6 years, not including the 1 year waiting for the list, just so people in the 60s will get promoted.
Having one ongoing promotional list for 7 years is insane and delusional and will never happen.
I was gonna say the same thing but didn't want to be attacked lol.

2022 is a long time from now, I'm sure MBREEZE has good sources but remember, the entire city administration will be different as will the upper levels of our department. To make a call now for what happens in 2022 is just plain silly... Like I said, it sounds like MBREEZE has good sources, but even his source in this case I don't think can make that call.

Im pretty sure an extention needs approval and reasons behind the extension have to be more than just getting the test extended to make everyone on the list. I know another department where they were able to extend a civil service exam due to the recession that hit us in 2008 which was a fair reason however that list also go cut later on after the extension was approved saving some.

But for arguments sake, if it is true that 200+ scored a 90/95 or better,.then people with a 80 may die in on the list??? The cut off would be in the 80s,..job doesnt promote too many Lt as is plus not that many retire or want to move up.

brooklynbacon · Guru

Theres no way 200+ scored a 95+ lol.

On the sgts list of 2600 people there were 92 people who got a 95+.

Theres something called averages and most will be sandwiched in the 75 to 85 bracket. So if our list had 200 people with a 95 then our list size should be close to 5200.

I would decline the promotion and keep my charts days.

In all seriousness walking across the stage is not a prerequisite to get promoted.

You will get promoted when you get back in a closed door heres your shield congrats meeting.

If we look at the actions taken by the job in the last year and half plus, it's clear that the new strategy is to get larger lists and fewer exams;

1-the job mass-promoted the remaining 250 people from the 2013 sgts exam (minus those held up) in order to give as many people as possible a chance to take this test (maybe knowing another would not come around for quite a long time)
2-This last LT exam turns out to be the fairest exam in a long time. Being that this followed what was the most unfair exam ever, which created a lawsuit and headlines that embarrassed the department, I don't think it's a leap to say this demonstrates that it was a job directive to make this exam very straightforward and thus guaranteeing an unusually large list.
3-The new way of grading or "scaling" exams to balance out OG tests and Make up tests. No matter what your theory is of why the scaling actually happens, there is no arguing that it adds more people to any exam list.

This strategy of bigger lists and fewer exams is beneficial to the job.
a) By adding people to the list who may have otherwise failed narrowly, the job takes away many potential lawsuits, but IS NOT obligated to actually promote them. Yea you made the list after scoring 60 originally, but will you get promoted before the 4 year expiration? Probably not. The city still gets to promote top performers and cut the legal standing of lawsuits. Much harder to make a legal argument about the fairness of an exam when you only made it due to scaled grading.
b) Fewer exams = larger pool of test takers AND a hungrier pool of test takers. If all tests at each rank come around once every 4 years and are very straightforward, then passing alone isn't good enough. You will have to assume that only passing with a good score in the 80's or so will get you promoted. Fewer tests also = lower operating costs to make the exams (a small point I know, but still true).

IDK if this is good or bad for rank and file cops, but I think its obvious it works for the city as this strategy is also a device to push guys/gals to stay on the job passed the requisite 20 years. Win, Win for the city.

I have sent two requests with no responses. I doubt DCAS will respond to anything in detail until they actually certify the list

@Awol4life Agree with you 100%. Bratton sent out a finest looking for people to write the test that stated he wanted to restore integrity to the testing process.

sorry for talking to much BUT I DID HEAR A LARGE NUMBER IF PPL ON THE LIST DIDNT HAVE ENOUGH TIME SO IT GOING TO BE ALOT OF JUMPING AROUND ON THIS LIST AND IM TALKING ABOUT MORE THAN 50% SOO IF YOUR IN THE LOW 80s DONT COUNT YOURSELF OUT

I heard the same. Like maybe only 600 are eligible for the promotion if it gets established today. They simply dont have enough time in rank to get promoted

fodx · Guru

Youre telling me that out of 1286 people, more than half don't have two years in rank as a Sgt? I find that hard to believe.

Yes sir, thats what Im saying. Im not the only thats heard it, people from the last Sgts list are just coming up on their 2 years in rank. I guess most people who took and failed the last two disasters decided not to go hard on this one

CappedOut · Senior Member

I think they just pushed FAIR AND STRAIGHT FORWARD for the test writers and we ended up with easier exams. That plus having to scale the exam for make ups (they would never scale it down to the harder exam) adds even more names to the list. I dont think there was any alternative motive (minorities, avoid lawsuits, less exams etc). Just a more fair exam and curve to match original tests with make ups. Perfect storm for a big list.

fodx · Guru

I really hope that's true because those people get just about no longevity points which means it'll bump the rest of us up a little. Combine that With a few points from throwuts and who knows I might get promoted in four years

Since April 2016 about 700+ were promoted off the 2013 test. I highly doubt 600 of those passed this LT exam in the high 90s and wont be eligible for promotion. Most of Sgts I know that passed have way more than the required 2 years in rank.
