But Colonel Drapeau, Mr. Tinsley, and Mr. Stannard—I've forgotten what his rank is—have all said that “If it ain't broke, don't fix it”, and all have worked under the system.
The system since 1998, since the guidelines or MOU or whatever has been in place, has worked. At least, I didn't hear—maybe you did, but I haven't heard—any complaints about interference in police investigations since 1998. If that's true, then why put a statutorily mandated process in place by which the VCDS can insert himself or herself right into an investigation?
