For weeks now we've been hearing chatter about promotions for senior officers in the police department. As always, there are grumblings of discontent by persons who got passed over. But, according to the Commish, it's much ado about nothing, since there have been no promotions, only recommendations:
Jules Vasquez
"I am told that it has created a lot of discontent in the department, that men who are putting in hard work felt that they were overlooked or bypassed. What is the status with the promotion?"
Allen Whylie - Commissioner of Police
"Man, Jules, that's news to me. First time I'm hearing that there is any dissension or there is any issue of promotion. I know a number of persons passed their promotional exams, a number appeared before the board. We've gotten those recommendations and as a policy group we look at those recommendations and we are making recommendations for persons to be promoted. So it's news to me you're saying that people have been promoted because I'm certain none have been promoted. Whenever there are issues of promotions there will always be a lot of rumors and the truth is everybody cannot be promoted and so we have got to try as much as possible to get the cream of the crop."
