Chapter 446: Discrimination (Please Collect, Recommend, and Vote) 4500 Please Recommend!!!

Kai's entry was very simple. He just had to report to the chief of the West District Police Station. Los Angeles was more impetuous than Chicago. Perhaps it was the influence of Hollywood. They loved to spread gossip. Before Kai took office, some news about him was all over the place.

Of course, the most widely circulated was not Kai's fierce record, but his relationship with Tony Stark. In the entertainment city, the focus is always on gossip.

But it was also because of this that the police officers in the West District were not very optimistic about Kai, a newcomer who came in through connections, and thought he was just an embroidered pillow. Fortunately, Dustin, the chief of the West District, was not so superficial. He had read Kai's full profile (complete on the surface) and knew that this was a solid cross-river. It was also the anger of the General Administration for losing control of the West District. Otherwise, the head of the serious crime team in such an important place as the West District would not be directly promoted from the authorities.

The West District is too important. Various celebrities and dignitaries are in this district. The West District Police Department has the Hollywood District and the West Hollywood District. Beverly Hills and Sunset Boulevard are there. The situation is complicated and cannot be solved by fighting. On the contrary, being a leader in this place requires strong social skills, at least you should be able to handle all kinds of complicated interpersonal relationships.

After all, the West District has always been a place where all kinds of donations gather, and even many donations from the headquarters come from those rich people in the West District. If you don't serve them well, you will have no money to eat!

Compared with Chicago, which has only the three largest police departments in the United States, the Los Angeles police live a much more comfortable life. The most direct manifestation is the salary. The average annual salary of Chicago police is about 34,000 US dollars, but in Los Angeles, this number has exceeded 55,000, and there are also very generous subsidies.

For example, rental subsidies. The housing prices in Los Angeles are much higher than those in Chicago, so many police officers rent houses, and each police officer can get about 2,000 to 4,000 US dollars in rental subsidies each year. If it is housing, it will be more.

There are also some other messy subsidies. Adding up, a Los Angeles policeman can get about 65,000 US dollars in compensation from the police department, which is already a typical American middle-class income level. If you have to say something bad, it is that the tax rate is relatively high, even the highest in the United States.

Of course, these are all minor issues, so I won't waste my breath on them.

Dustin is a handsome middle-aged man, thin, serious, with bright eyes. He is also very polite, but very formal. Overall, Kai feels that the first meeting with his direct superior is neither good nor bad.

Kai can feel that he is a little resistant to his arrival, but he can't say he is bored, just a little worried.

Recalling the situation in the West District Police Station, Kai can understand his concerns. The West District seems peaceful, after all, there are many rich areas, the public security is good, and there are sufficient staff. But in fact, the more here, the more difficult it is, because you must have skills to do things here, and you will not get anyone's support if you do it recklessly.

After chatting with Dustin for a while, Dustin asked his secretary to take Kai to the Serious Crime Unit.

The scale of the West District Serious Crime Unit is quite large, with a total of six groups, more than 30 people, plus forensics and forensics, there are nearly 50 people in total, this is the benefit of having money. → Brothers! Like other districts always complaining about lack of manpower, this problem does not exist at all in the West District.

The team is led by the sheriff, and the detectives are under him.

When Kai came to the serious crime team, six team leaders and the head of the forensic department were already in place to welcome this airborne leader.

"Hey, Dan, do you think that Kai is really Tony Stark's boyfriend?" A middle-aged man with obvious Latin American ancestry was obviously a little bored waiting, and whispered to a serious-looking, muscular man next to him.

The man named Dan glanced at his colleague, the man was called 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 like a bastard, he was actually a bastard, but he was a good policeman. Although his methods might be a bit extreme, he was better than everyone present in fighting criminals.

"Do you believe this?" Dan said disdainfully.

"Well... I don't really believe it." Chap shook his head. Although those rumors were very convincing, few smart people would believe them. Because if the rumors were true, the bureau could have put this newcomer in a safe and leisurely position and put him on a high pedestal. Why put him in the serious crime unit?

The West District is indeed better than the branches in other districts, but the serious crime unit is not a good job anywhere.

Chap said with a smirk: "Did you spread those rumors?"

Dan glanced at Chap and sneered: "Why me?"

"Everyone knows that you were the most likely candidate to succeed the team leader, but now..."

"Humph! Even if I want to do this, I won't spread such low-level rumors." Dan said a little proudly.

Although Dan looks young, he is actually 38 years old, but you can't tell from his youthful face. He joined the police force at the age of 18 and has worked in the serious crime team for almost 15 years. He has a lot of experience and is good at handling cases. He has a high prestige in the serious crime team, but he is very serious, so he is not very likable. At least the last dead head didn't like him very much.

"Okay, stop arguing, the new head 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. Who said 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 Chap, I already know a little about your abilities. From now on, your team will be separated and I will be directly responsible for targeting those gangsters. You can transfer people from other teams. I need to destroy the biggest gangster in the West District in the shortest possible time. "

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 serious crime team was killed, it was definitely a major case. Kai naturally knew why he was transferred to this position, so he had to do something at the beginning of taking office.

Dan and Chap's eyes lit up as they listened.

For Dan, others think he is the best candidate for team leader. Doesn’t he have any idea at all? Of course it's impossible. But now it's a fait accompli, what can he do? Encourage others to make the new team leader look bad and push the new team leader away?

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 arrived, 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 crime team doesn't 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 team from his hands. This is how his biological father treats him, not to mention that others are just 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 were pros and cons, but he didn't care very much. The new team leader would do big things as soon as he came in, and he would 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!"

…

Kai's next time was to read the information, and then call several leaders in to talk. This is what Kai learned from his previous leader. Understanding and communicating are the most important things when you are new to a new environment.

The conversation with the sergeants was pretty good. Although the workplace is dangerous, the question is how much intrigue can a divisional crime squad have? Everyone is very busy. So everyone was finally relieved to see that the new team leader was willing to communicate instead of messing around when he first came up. For a violent organization like theirs, what they fear most is that the layman leads the expert and gives 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, he was about to call in a few police officers with outstanding abilities to get to know them further.

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 were a disciplinary force no matter what. It was up to you whether you listened to some 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 this power back? 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 learned that it was one of his police officers who was arguing with Dan. But Kai also had reasons to be angry. He had just put more burden on you with his front foot, and you stretched his crotch with his back foot. Even a leader could not help but be angry. Whose face was this slap 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 speaking. "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 serious crime team and asked Dan to promote a police officer from among his own team members to take charge of his original team. Although neither Dan nor the police officer who succeeded Dan in charge of his original squad had any change in rank. But power is very different.

That's what happened. Dan hands over the reins of the team to his partner, a police officer named Hyde, who has been on the force for six years. Having been partnered with Dan before, this was nothing to worry about initially, but Chloe, the only female police officer under Dan, 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 on the police force for twelve years, starting as a patrol officer and now working as a detective in the major crimes unit.

The working 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 mentality you have in making this decision. That's your business. I only care about one thing! That is how did you become a leader? It was the first time I saw that there were police officers under my command. A police officer can openly 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 acted like Chloe, then the police department would stop working and just change it into a soap opera!

Chloe endured it, and finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"Report!"

"Say!" Kai now had time to pay attention to the policewoman.

Chloe is the typical American sweet girl, with a good figure, blond hair and big waves, the kind that can be taken apart and read. She looks like a Hollywood heroine, beautiful and full of personality.

"I want to protest!"

Kai looked at Dan and then at Chloe, who had a serious face.

"Protest for what?"

“Protest against Dan’s discrimination against women!”

This accusation is quite serious. After all, in this politically correct environment, discrimination against women is more difficult than discrimination against black people. After all, discrimination against black people only makes black people angry, but how can it discriminate against women? Women in red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple will scold you, and even men will scold you too. Macho chauvinism is basically something that everyone calls out nowadays.

Dan blushed.

"Just because he didn't let you be in charge of his original team?" Kai asked a little surprised. This ex-wife is a bit cruel. 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 the white left 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 am a police officer. Just because I am a woman, I cannot be deprived of my right to realize my self-worth! And I also believe that I have the qualifications and 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 chauvinist, he can distinguish between work and life. Now that you are a policeman, are you still afraid of danger? It would be better not to join this industry at all. Criminals don't care if you are a man or a woman.

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. Pick him up there. There will definitely be a big scene. If you back down then, I'll be sorry. The police force doesn't need a weak police officer, do you understand what I mean?"

Chloe opened her mouth, she felt like Kai just wanted to drive her away.

Kai didn't wait for her to speak: "This is your punishment. Remember this is the police station, not your home. I can't tolerate a police officer disobeying his immediate superior's orders in public. I have given you the opportunity. It’s up to you how to 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 well, it means 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 was 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 will go home and take care of the kids together!"
