the police must be one of the few professions that promote staff who have special skills and then move them into a role that they know nothing about. for example a detective with many years experience gets promoted and gets a job as a custody sergeant, or a fraud officer will go back into uniform. and we wonder why we fail. The newly promoted staff are clueless as to their new role, so their reputation fails as does the professionalism of the department that they now supervise. The senior leadership team don't care and are quite happy to throw them all under the bus.
