All 3 are really excellent, first class, and supremely qualified. Each has his own particular qualities and it really boils down to this: Jim: Very popular with the troops and community (Think: Obama/Reagan) Charlie: Solid, by the book (Think: Joe Friday) Michael: Forward thinker (Think: Steve Jobs) I'm glad I don't have to make the choice, because each of them will make great Chiefs, but I have to admit that Jim's experience as Bratton's #2 makes him a close favorite. Then again, Charlie Beck's a fantastic organizer and knows how to get things done - rape kit backlog, and knows how to give very clear, very easy to understand instructions. Moore's younger and more of an 'out of the box' thinker. Shit. All three are great! One thing's for sure, whichever of them is selected, Los Angeles is the winner.

I’m glad I don’t have to make the choice, because each of them will make great Chiefs, but I have to admit that Jim’s experience as Bratton’s #2 makes him a close favorite.

Then again, Charlie Beck’s a fantastic organizer and knows how to get things done – rape kit backlog, and knows how to give very clear, very easy to understand instructions. Moore’s younger and more of an ‘out of the box’ thinker. Shit. All three are great!

One thing’s for sure, whichever of them is selected, Los Angeles is the winner.
