Police chief

A police chief is an authoritative position within a metropolitan police force. Also known as a Chief of Police, they are in charge of all of the police officers, detectives and administrative staff in service to a police department for a particular city or municipality.

On television
Chief O'Hara was the police chief of Gotham City on the original Batman television series from the 1960s. He was actually one of the more dimwitted police chiefs one might find, as he was always puzzled by the strange crimes taking place in the city. Without missing a beat, Chief O'Hara would gladly step aside in his duties in favor of garnering some assistance from Gotham's caped crusaders, Batman and Robin.
