I suspect that there is a truly disproportionate number of politicians' ignorant brothers-in-law wearing executive command rank in too many police agencies.

That's definitely the case in the Chicago PD. When looking at the stuff Second City Cop talks about in his blog, it's pretty frightening. CPD has the concept of "merit" promotions, which typically means politically connected losers who should have been fired from the force instead of promoted.
