Part 3/6:
The recent interview with Chief Smith exposed concerning gaps in her understanding of basic police hierarchy and protocol. When asked about the chain of command—a fundamental aspect of law enforcement organization—she appeared unsure and struggled to provide a clear explanation. Her difficulty was evident as she either deflected or failed to furnish specific details, leaving viewers with doubts about her grasp of leadership fundamentals.
For instance, when questioned about whether she was the one in charge or how the command structure operates, she seemed evasive. She referenced an executive order and a vague chain of authority, demonstrating a lack of clarity about her own role within the department’s hierarchy.
