The 9th Mobile is the Chief's all-in-1 Swiss army knife unit and his clever disguise for the fact that he's got no actual street crimes unit, gang unit or street level narcotics unit in a city of 700,000 people, 120 homicides, a dozen gangs, and over 400 illicit drug overdose deaths per year.

Every few years he makes another announcement about an interagency task force with the local leaders of the FBI, DEA, Marshals, ATF and US Attorney. The 9th Mobile is given the task of doing whatever that task force was supposed to do, but without the dozens of agents, detectives, and intel staff that were supposed to be working as a unit. You can't blame someone in patrol for wanting to be a "detective" bad enough to be in a uniformed warmed-over flex unit. You can blame the cynical liars in command who use them as a marketing tool to convince an ever-declining percentage of Louisville that the police are any good at their jobs.
