Kai's entry into the job is very simple, just go directly to the West District Police Chief to report. Los Angeles is a little more impetuous than Chicago, perhaps due to the influence of Hollywood, which likes to spread gossip. Before Kai took office, some news about him spread.
flying all over the sky.
Of course, the most widely circulated thing is not Kai's powerful record, but his relationship with Tony Stark. In the city of entertainment, the focus is always on gossip.
But it is precisely because of this that the police officers in the West District are not very optimistic about Kai, a newcomer who came in through connections, thinking that he is just an embroidered pillow. Fortunately, the director of the West District, Dustin, is not so superficial. He has seen Kai's complete file.
(Seemingly complete), I know that this is a solid dragon crossing the river, and it is also the general administration's anger at the Western District losing control. Otherwise, the leader of the serious crime team in such an important place as the Western District would not be directly promoted from the authorities.
The West District is such an important place. All kinds of celebrities and powerful people are in this district. There are Hollywood District and West Hollywood District under the West District Police Station. Beverly Hills and Sunset Boulevard are right there. The situation is complicated and cannot be solved by just one person.
It can be solved. On the contrary, as a leader in this place, you must have very strong social skills, and at least you should be able to handle all kinds of complicated human relations.
After all, the West District has always been a place where all kinds of donations gather. Even many of the donations from the General Administration come from the rich people in the West District. If you don't take good care of them, you won't have money to eat!
Compared to Chicago, which has the three largest police departments in the United States, the life of the Los Angeles police is much more comfortable. The most direct reflection is the salary. The average annual salary of the Chicago police is about 34,000 US dollars. But in Los Angeles, this number
Both exceeded 55,000, and there were also quite generous subsidies.
For example, rent subsidies. Housing prices in Los Angeles are much higher than in Chicago, so many police officers rent. Each police officer can receive about two thousand to four thousand dollars in rental subsidies every year. If it is housing, it is even more.
There are also some other messy subsidies. In total, a Los Angeles police officer can receive about $65,000 in compensation from the police department, which is already a typical middle-class income level in the United States. If there is one bad thing, it is the comparison of tax rates.
High, even the tallest in the United States.
Of course, these are all minor issues, so I won’t waste any more time.
Dustin is a handsome middle-aged man, thin, serious, with bright eyes. He is also very polite to others, but very formulaic. Overall, Kai feels that the first meeting with his direct boss is neither good nor bad.
Too bad.
Kai could feel that he was a little resistant to his arrival, but he couldn't say he was bored, just a little worried.
Looking back at the situation at the West District Police Station, Kai could understand his worries. The West District seemed peaceful. After all, the wealthy areas were crowded together, the public security situation was good, and the manpower was sufficient. But in fact, the further here you go, the more difficult it is, because in
You have to be skillful in doing things here, and you won't get anyone's support if you act recklessly.
After chatting with Dustin for a while, Dustin asked his secretary to take Kai to the major crimes unit.
The Western District Crime Squad is quite large, with a total of six teams, more than 30 people, plus forensics, forensics, etc., there are a total of less than 50 people. This is the advantage of having money. There are many people! Like other districts, there are always
Complaining about lack of manpower, this problem does not exist in the Western District.
The team is led by the sergeant, followed by detectives.
When Kai arrived at the major crime team, six team leaders and the head of the forensic forensics department were already in place to greet the airborne leader.
"Hey, Dan, do you think that Kai is really Tony Stark's boyfriend?" A middle-aged man who was obviously of Latin American descent was obviously a little bored waiting, and whispered to a serious-looking and muscular man next to him.
The man gossiped.
The man named Dan glanced at his colleague, who was named Chap Londoño, a typical rogue policeman. Many people suspected that this guy had something to do with the gang, but in fact Dan knew very well that although this guy looked
He appears to be a bastard, but in fact he is even more of a bastard, but he is a good policeman. Although his methods may be a bit extreme, he can do a better job than everyone present in fighting criminals.
"Do you believe this?" Dan said disdainfully.
"Hmm... I don't really believe it." Chap shook his head. Don't look at those rumors, but really smart people rarely believe this. Because if the rumors are true, then the bureau can completely let this newcomer go.
In a place that is both free and safe, and offered at a high level. Why put it in the major crimes unit?
The West District is indeed better than the branches in other districts, but the crime team is not a good job anywhere.
Chap said with a wicked smile: "Did you spread those rumors?"
Dan glanced sideways at Chap and said with a sneer: "Why me?"
"Who doesn't know that you were originally the most likely candidate to succeed the team leader, but now..."
"Hmph! Even if I were to do this, I wouldn't spread such low-level rumors." Dan said a little proudly.
Even though Dan looks young, in fact this guy is already thirty-eight, but it’s hard to tell because of his tender face. He joined the police force at the age of eighteen and has worked in the major crime team for almost fifteen years. He is very qualified and handles cases.
There is also a way of saying that he has a high prestige in the serious crime team, but he has a very serious personality, so he is not very likable. At least the dead team leader who took office disliked him very much.
"Okay, stop arguing, the new team leader is here!"
It was also at this time that a female police officer interrupted the conversation between the two.
The Los Angeles Police Department has the largest number of female police officers in the United States, accounting for about 20%. Secondly, more than 30% of the police officers here are Hispanic. After all, California is not far from Mexico.
The first meeting was very formal. Kai introduced himself and then announced that he was looking for a mother.
But Kai kept Dan and Chap behind.
Kai has done his homework before. Dan and Chap are the two oldest police sergeants in the major crimes unit, and they are also the most capable. However, one is a prick and makes trouble all day long, and the other is too serious and unlikable.
, so it has been wasted.
"I don't like working in the office, so Dan, you will be the deputy team leader from now on. You will be responsible for all daily affairs. You will arrange your own people to take charge of your team. As for Chapu, I already know a little about your abilities.
From now on, your team will be separated separately and I will be directly responsible for targeting those gangsters. You can transfer people from other teams. I need to take down the largest gangster in the West District in the shortest possible time. Let us open up the situation."
Generally speaking, the crime squad is not responsible for gang cases, but if the case is big enough, it is another matter. This time the leader of the crime squad was killed, it is definitely a big case. Kai naturally knew that he would be transferred to this position
What is it for, so we must do something at the beginning of taking office.
Dan and Chap's eyes lit up as they listened.
For Dan, others think that he is the best candidate for the team leader. Does he have no idea at all? Of course it is impossible. But now it is a fait accompli, what can he do? Encourage others to make the new team leader look bad
, squeeze out the new team leader?
It would be too stupid to do that. It would not do any good except making the General Administration dissatisfied with Dan.
So he could only endure it.
As a result, now, as soon as the new team leader came, he was put in charge of the daily work of the entire serious crime team, and he was given the title of deputy team leader. It was obvious that he valued him, and even released a message in advance, that is, as long as he is the team leader
If he gets promoted or leaves, the next team leader will definitely recommend him.
You know, the major crimes unit does not have the title of deputy leader at all.
Letting him be responsible for daily work also exercises his management skills. Even Kai did not separate his original group from his hands. This is the way his own father treats him, not to mention that others are only his leaders.
Chap didn't expect that the new team leader would delegate power on the first day. As for his team being under the direct control of the new team leader, there are pros and cons, but he doesn't care very much. The new team leader will do big things as soon as he comes in, and he will take him with him.
, what else?
"Understood!"*2
"Very good. Tomorrow I will see detailed information about the gangs in our jurisdiction. Now... just do whatever you have to do."
"yes!"
…
The next time Kai spent was to read the information, and then call several leaders in to talk. This was what Kai learned from his previous leaders. Understanding and communicating are the most important things when you are new to a new environment.
I had a pretty good chat with those sergeants. Although the workplace is dangerous, the problem is how much intrigue can be in a divisional major crime team. Everyone is very busy. So I saw that the new team leader is willing to communicate instead of messing around right away.
, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief. What they fear most about a violent organization like theirs is that laymen lead experts and give blind orders.
But Kai didn't touch the current rules. Instead, he was willing to respect everyone's style and power, and everyone was naturally willing to give him face.
Just when Kai had finished chatting with a few bosses and was about to call in a few more capable police officers for further understanding.
Suddenly there was a quarrel outside.
This made Kai frown. Although Kai was willing to respect the original rules, there were some things he couldn't compromise on. The first point was discipline!
There are some things that everyone can be freer about, but there are some things that we cannot touch.
Even if Kai was in Chicago, he would not make his superiors look bad within the police department. After all, the police are still a disciplinary force. It is up to you whether you listen to certain things, but openly stabbing someone would break the rules.
"What's going on?" Kai brought the two parties to his office.
Unexpectedly, it was Dan and a female police officer under him.
"I remember I just gave you the power to take charge of daily affairs, and now you want me to take back this power? Do you want to deliberately embarrass me, or do you plan to tell me that you have a problem with your ability and can't even handle your own team members?
?”
Kai became very angry when he found out that it was his police officer who was arguing with Dan. However, Kai also had reason to be angry. He just put extra burden on you on the front foot, and you stretched your hips on the back foot. Even a leader can't help but be angry. This is
Who's going to hit in the face?
"I..." The policewoman didn't expect it to happen like this and immediately planned to explain something.
But Kai waved his hand and stopped her from talking. "Now is not the time for you to talk! Dan, tell me what is going on!"
The matter is not complicated. The reason is that Kai put Dan in charge of the daily operations of the major crime team and asked Dan to promote a police officer from among his own team members to take charge of his original team. Although whether it was Dan or the police officer who succeeded Dan in charge of his original team,
The level has not changed, but the power is very different.
That's what happened. Dan handed over the power of the team to his partner, a police officer named Hyde, who had been on the police force for six years. He had been partnering with Dan before, and originally it was nothing, but Dan was the only woman under his command.
Officer Chloe was not convinced.
Speaking of Chloe, we have to talk about her relationship with Dan. She is Dan’s ex-wife. The two met and got married in the police force, and later divorced. Chloe has been in the police force for 12 years and started as a patrol officer.
He started as a homicide detective.
The work experience is also quite rich.
But Kai didn't care what Dan thought. He only cared about why Dan couldn't control his police officer.
"I don't care what kind of mentality you have in making this decision. That's your business. I only care about one thing! That is how do you become a leader? This is the first time I saw that there are police officers under you.
A police officer can blatantly disobey the orders of the direct police chief! This kind of thing is absolutely not allowed! Don't say she is your ex-wife, even if she is your mother!"
If every police officer behaves like Chloe, then the police department will stop opening its doors and just change it into a soap opera!
Chloe endured it for a long time, and finally couldn't bear it anymore.
"Report!"
"Say!" Kai now had time to pay attention to the policewoman.
Chloe is a typical American sweet girl, with a good figure, blond hair and big waves, the kind that can be taken apart. She looks like a Hollywood heroine, beautiful and full of personality.
"I want to protest!"
Kai looked at Dan and then at Chloe, who looked serious.
"Protest against what?"
“Protest against Dan’s discrimination against women!”
This accusation is quite serious. After all, in this politically correct environment, discriminating against women is more difficult than discriminating against black people. After all, it is discriminatory against black people and only black people are angry. How about discriminating against women? Women with red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple will scold them.
You, even men will join you in scolding you. Nowadays, male chauvinism is basically something that everyone shouts and beats.
Dan blushed.
"Because he didn't let you be in charge of his original team?" Kai asked a little surprised. This ex-wife is a bit ruthless. If others find out, Dan's future will be over. Los Angeles has always been a left-leaning camp.
After all, Hollywood has always been the benchmark for the left. Just look at their movies and you will know that white leftism is prevalent.
"Not only that, I don't become a police officer just to stay in the office, I want to realize my own value, but he always uses caring about me as an excuse to prevent me from doing my best because I am a woman and also his ex-wife.
The police should fulfill their responsibilities! I am not afraid of danger when I become a police officer. Just because I am a woman, you cannot deprive me of the right to realize my self-worth! And I also believe that I can lead a group. I have the qualifications and the ability to do my best.
good!"
Kai glanced pitifully at Dan, whose face had turned red and turned purple.
However, Kai agreed with Chloe's defense. Although he is also a man of chauvinism, he can distinguish between work and life. Since you are afraid of danger after becoming a policeman? Then you might as well not join this profession at all. Criminals don't care who you are.
Male is female.
Kai pondered for a while and said: "Since Dan has appointed the person in charge, in principle I will not interfere. But what you said makes sense. So, don't you want to handle the case? Just go to Chapu's group and pick him up there.
There will definitely be a big scene down there. If you back down then, I'll be sorry. The police force doesn't need a weak policeman. Do you understand what I mean?"
Chloe opened her mouth, she felt that Kai just wanted to drive her away.
Kai did not wait for her to speak: "This is your punishment. Remember this is the police station, not your home. I cannot tolerate a police officer disobeying his immediate superior's orders in public. I have given you the opportunity.
It's up to you how you choose."
After speaking, Kai said to Dan: "In view of what you did, I originally planned to cancel the previous decision, but this time the situation is a bit special. I can forgive you once. Remember, it is only once. If you still can't do it next time
If you control your police officers very well, it means that you are not suitable to be a leader, do you understand?"
But he wanted to object to Kai's decision just now, but Kai didn't say anything wrong. This is the rule that the police should have. If he said anything else, he would be shameless.
"Okay, get out of here. Don't let this trivial matter between you get involved in work. Otherwise, you two can go home and take care of your children together!"
