Relationship With 15th Precinct Commanders
When a Borough Commander named Haverill (played by James Handy) planned to have Fancy removed from the 15th for fabricated reasons, Andy Sipowicz blackmailed the Commander over an unsolved mob murder to leave Fancy alone. Haverill would later start an IAB witch hunt on Detective John Kelly, one of Fancy's best detectives. Haverill got a full investigation going and then provoked Kelly into committing an act of insubordination as a means of transferring him out of the squad permanently. Kelly decided to surrender his badge instead of accepting a humiliating demotion to a Dispatcher position, much to the regret of Fancy. Haverill later tried another scheme to wreck Fancy's career through an informant who helped Fancy earn his Detective's Gold Shield. Fancy uncovered the plan, and got the informant to record Haverill calling Fancy a "nigger" and trying to cause Fancy's informant to set Fancy and Sipowicz on a bogus bust as a means of taking their badges. After preventing the robbery of an armored car, Fancy played the recording for Haverill and gave him two choices- early retirement or a civil trial. Haverill angrily took the retirement option. Haverill's replacement Captain Bass, a veteran of patrol would often disagree with Fancy but the two got along much better for the most part than Haverill and Fancy.

Famous quotes containing the words relationship with and/or relationship:
“Every man is in a state of conflict, owing to his attempt to reconcile himself and his relationship with life to his conception of harmony. This conflict makes his soul a battlefield, where the forces that wish this reconciliation fight those that do not and reject the alternative solutions they offer. Works of art are attempts to fight out this conflict in the imaginative world.”
—Rebecca West (1892–1983)
“Every relationship that does not raise us up pulls us down, and vice versa; this is why men usually sink down somewhat when they take wives while women are usually somewhat raised up. Overly spiritual men require marriage every bit as much as they resist it as bitter medicine.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
