All the middle administrators are Kealoha appointees or promotees . She is starting clean, Captains are d.d. boys in police world. Majors dump their trash on them to see if they can handle. They also ride the desk when the Major disappears. Captains and above are not SHOPO, they are HGEA. This means they are on to bottom and were passed over by Kealoha. I  know John and know he got passed over for Major. Yes it is internal politics. Also tells you she don't trust any of the Majors. They all going out anyway so why promote them.
