Changes on Paper

So let's see what the accuracy was from our sources at HQ in Special Ed's inner circle:

• Chief Keith Calloway - retired
• Deputy Chief Kevin Ryan - retired
• Deputy Chief Maria Pena - retired

None of these popped up in our comments or from our spies. And the one that did (Saldana) ended up moving, not retiring. The other two demotions (Moss and Sanchez) appear to have happened though.

• D. Alexander to Chief of IAD (accurate)
• J. Tirado to Dep Chief Area Central (accurate) 
• S. Avila to Chief Org Crime (not mentioned)
• C. Kennedy to Street Deputy (accurate)
• W. Bradley to  Dep Chief Org Crime (accurate)
• K. Konow to Dep Chief IAD (accurate)
• F. Saldana to XO Area North (told retired - wrong)
• R. Darlin to XO Area Central (accurate)
• R. Muhammad to Cmdr 006 (accurate)
• M. Roman to Cmdr 019 (updated to 014) (accurate)
• D. Jerome to Cmdr 009 (accurate)
• C. Papaioannou to Cmdr 019 (we had 012, half credit)
• M. Bulnes to Cmdr 004 (not mentioned)
• R. Neives to Cmdr Gangs (we had Intel, half credit)
• M. Rubino to Cmdr 024 (accurate)
• M. Harmon to Cmdr Vice/Asset Forfeiture (not mentioned)
• R. Wiser to Cmdr 022 (not mentioned)
• some John Marshall lawyer we don't care about

Chung kept 012 for now, and it appears the rumor that Valadez couldn't pass the vetting process kept him from Organized Crime. That's interesting.

Not a bad batting average for our sources either - nearly 70% on the money.

Insignificant.

Updates on Future Changes

You'd think a new mayor was coming in or something with all the moves underway. As predicted though, Special Ed was pissed that the scheduled changes made it here before he got a chance to make them. Sorry (not sorry) about that. Our spies are buried deep in HQ's business and have been for years.

• Valadez couldn’t pass the vetting so they had to dig deep into the non-existant decimated Hispanic upper ranks to replace Noel Sanchez.
• Look for one more Commander (Joyce to A/F) and 2 more Captains from the current Captains-in-Training list to be made
• Saldana dropped his resignation today, so Roman is being shifted from 019 to 014.

Expect more "adjustments" as Special Ed doesn't want his moves protecting/advancing his people to be undone by LightGroot taking over and putting her people in places.

Big Shakeups

All sorts of rumors erupting out of HQ:

• Mel Roman to 19
  Jill Stevens captain of 18
  Street Deputy Kennedy
  Tirado Area central dep Chief
  Street Deputy Chung
  Nieves to Intelligence
  Rubino to 24
  Chief of OCD Valadez
  Chief of IA Alexander
  Randall Darlin to xo Area CENTRAL
  Don Jerome is getting 9
  Karen Konow Deputy Chief IA
  Commander of 6 now Dep Chief of OCD
  A/S Det Lt.Muhammad to commander of 6
  Chris Poppanio to 12 Dist”
  
  Additionally, Noel Sanchez, former chief organize crime, asked to leave
  Sue Moss asked to leave

There will also be nine lieutenants sent to Captain training - including Eric Carter's wife and a few former pin cushions of assorted exempts getting ready to leave.

We haven't seen these moves on paper yet, but someone did - it's all over HQ and by making it here, might have short circuited some moves.

Shakeups?

Are the paybacks are beginning before LightGroot takes over?

• OCD Chief Noel Sanchez has been demoted back to Captain.
  
  FatHeadEd getting his retribution before Rham leaves.
  
  D. Alexander named acting Chief of OCD. Sounds like Kennedy to take Dep Chief OCD

And yet, Escamerit remains.
