LPD and JCPD use to have merit Captains instead of Majors running the districts. Those slots were done away with because you had Captains that wouldn't follow the Chiefs orders/agenda. You can't have a good/great Chief/command staff if you have Captains that won't allow the Chief to implement his programs. We just happen to have a crappy chief and command staff, that's the problem. It was an embarrassment watching car 2 (or car toons) testify. What a joke.
