There are slow beats, do-little desk jobs, and ways to push work off on others everywhere else. CO's can sit in the office or hide, letting their division go to h311, afraid of taking on the problem children, especially when they know the people above won't back them. The department has been conditioned to do as little as possible that could lead to confrontations or internal investigations. It's not a department about policing anymore and hasn't been since merger. This is an old problem now.
