Like much of the police hierarchy thinking, it is a concept inherited from the United Kingdom.

What it does not mean, is policy independence. Which is what I suspect you (and some of the top brass) are aiming for.

It is the job of the police to enforce the law, not to dream up laws that fit their world view...

You and systolic are actually pretty much onto it regarding this. I'll post the reply I received shortly. I did note that I received a response VERY quickly. So even though no action, it got some attention.
