Without him, there is no one in uniform, except for dress blues on certain occasions.

would not have the same question of favoritism).But then within a season he was said to never want to take another exam again.(You can’t get a promotion in the NYPD unless you take exams,aside from being named a Detective…Henry and Frank MUST have taken the Sergeant,Lieutenant,and Captain exams in their time).

I’m afraid this is really a case of slave-to-the-premise syndrome,where characters on a TV show simply have to stay in the same situation rather than accept any opportunity to leave it…no matter how unrealistic it gets.
