Why does beckett call the new captain sir

How has it been for you joining an established show and blending in with those who have been there from the start? Does it mean anything special in particular being a female police captain? What can you tell us about the character? She is rather exciting. I liken it to a great stew or gumbo which is spicier.

Gates' father was also a police officer, as were her uncles. She believes fervently in the mission of the police, but is also very alert to corruption and malfeasance; as she explained once to Beckett, her patrol partner was assaulted by a police sergeant who was able to hide behind his authority.

This drove her to work for Internal Affairs. Gates believes that cops must be held to a higher standard than the populace they police, making her, perhaps, the answer to Juvenal's eternal question "Sed quis custodiet ipsos custodes But who watches the watchmen themselves?

While a skilled administrator, she is alert to the political implications of her decisions. She noted to Beckett that she was the second youngest female to be promoted to Detective, Beckett having beaten her by six weeks " Rise " , and explaining that "someone's always keeping score".
