Again… I’m not sure that officers would follow the orders even if you could find a police chief willing to stand up to the fraternal orders.
We’re in the age old “who watches the watchmen” scenario. Politicians over decades have empowered the police to protect their classes self interest to the point where we don’t really have a way to control them any more.
Or start deputizing people who will. Police say they won’t help? There’s plenty of people out there who will. The admin wants to claim it’s a Wild West city? Treat it like one.
So just keep firing police chiefs until you find one who will.

They don’t exist.
Anybody can be police chief, there are no requirements or qualifications. I’m sure there’s at least one person that would.
I’m Canadian, but I’d do it. We’d have ICE whacking day like in the Simpsons.
