Reply to comment by XSC in Philadelphia Police Commissioner Danielle Outlaw involved in Center City crash by Saint_2022

Not saying Outlaw doesn’t need assistants, just that they don’t need to be trained officers.

Eh, is the president's chauffeur secret service? I'd be surprised if they didn't have training, same with a police commissioner or higher up like a mayor. If it goes down, going to want all the personnel there able to defend the VIP.

Does the police commissioner of Philadelphia require the same level of support as the president?

No, which is why she doesn't get a whole caravan accompanying her. However, it doesn't appear like she even gets a police escort; it's just her and her driver. I'm not surprised that the driver is a trained officer and not a regular chauffeur, as he may also double as protection.
