Some people only become police officers as a path to some "higher calling" They never wanted to do the job itself or at least not do it well. The people ****** neither good detectives or good patrol officers can work their way up the promotion system without anyone noticing how bad they are by sticking to administrative jobs. They beg, borrow and steal to get assigned to the Chief's office so they can brown nose him. Then one day they're made a Lt Col or Chief and people wonder why murders doubled
