![]() ![]() I would assume with police it would be similar. They choose your level based on testing, and the higher level you are, the more priority you have for transfers, promotions, etc. There are varying "levels" of some jobs, and the differences between them, save for pay and a few other perks, is minimal at best. I don't know about the police, but I do know some people who work for the state where I live. ![]() And when those characters got promoted they made a big deal about him being a street cop in his heart needing the action as a field supervisor. Meanwhile uniformed Sergeants made a big jump from the duties of patrolman. But then again every fictional NYPD Detective Sergeant except Olivia Benson on SVU seemed to have the exact same duties as plain detectives. The Inspector question reminds me of Wojo being dissatisfied when he finally made Sergeant and had the exact same duties he had as Detective 3. I'm not enough of a historian to know if that continued all the way through the Barney Miller era as it was a time of a lot of changes and reforms in the NYPD, but it was certainly the case throughout the 60's and into the early 70's and would have been there in any research they did and any stories the writers and producers heard.Ĭalling any NYPD historian. (Tactical Patrol Force) which was a riot-police/Anti-Crime/quick reaction force unit that was known for it's toughness which was another reason that detective squads served as backup/extra muscle. So instead of working murder, vice etc the detective squad seemed to be the local quick reaction force as well as taking over the paper work burden of the patrols and eyes on the street.Īnd "beyond the win a gun battle, get your shield" thing most of the NYPD's detectives came out of the T.P.F. so before the time of ESU and the SWAT teams when something went down the detective squad broke out the shotguns and took over from that officer on foot patrol. And while Captain Miller was rejecting the old blue line ways he was not going to directly confront the old guard InspectorĪs late as the most hated detective in the Law & Order franchise Nina Cassidy NYPD had a reputation, win a gun battle and get your detective shield. Inspector Lugar is a special case in that he thinks of Barney as among the generation of cops he mentored from the old days. He would encourage less formality thus "Barney" to his command, where as Miller would seem weird as if they were peers. I think it was more a change in society during the period, and Captain Miller was at the forefront of that as he rose through the ranks. To me, this was just something the series decided to be unrealistic about (really, they would have addressed him as "Captain") for the sake of the audience - because he was the title character of the series, and somebody thought it would be odd if his name was never heard. I associate the "surname-only" practice with military schools, or upper-class prep schools (especially the British ones I saw in TV and movies). ![]() And I salute the great nation of Canada.I'm not doubting the truth of this, but it doesn't at all match my experience (in the same period) or that of people I got to know from other schools. "An incredible place in a great nation, Canada. "An incredible beautiful city which I dream about," Giamatti said. He also gave a shout out to the film's "incredible" crew in Montreal, where the film - which also stars Dustin Hoffman, Minnie Driver and Rosamund Pike - was shot. "I also want to make sure to thank the incredible family of Mordecai Richler who let me stomp around in their private lives, which was very kind of them," he said. Giamatti lauded Lantos and expressed gratitude to the family of the late author, who died in 2001. It took producer Robert Lantos over 10 years to turn Richler's sprawling novel into a film. "I got to smoke and drink and get laid in this movie and I got paid for it. "This was an extraordinary movie to be a part of and people busted their asses to get it made," Giamatti said as he accepted the award from presenter Halle Berry, noting he was "jacked up" from eating too many of the Godiva chocolates handed out at the ceremony. Paul Giamatti thanked the family of Mordecai Richler and the city of Montreal on Sunday night as he won the Golden Globe for best actor in a musical or comedy for "Barney's Version." ![]()
