Jack would be excellent for numerous reasons
-we didnt convert him, the failures of the policies and inability to do real police work converted him
-he's got a broad range of experience, homicide, drugs, administration, gangs, violence, and city police corruption. all the major issues msp is facing.
-he was made a pariah for even speaking with msi, which shows in partisanship thats already inherant in msp and state leadership, something that desperatly needs to change
-he has plans for md's issues, which is more than I can say for any previous SoSP who have just towed the administration line
-he would be effective in the heroin state of emergency that Hogan plans to call
-frosh would shit bricks
-he served in a leadership position under the o'malley administration, that makes him about as "non partisan" as can be

I think the Senate would be hard pressed to deny confirmation of a former MSP captain, given the leadership and administrative duties associated with the rank.
Some of those suggesting certain specific names may have overlooked the requirement for the MSP superintendent (who is the also the secretary of the Department of State Police, and thereby a member of the governor's cabinet) to be confirmed by the Maryland State Senate. This is a consideration that surely will not be overlooked by the governor-elect.
The last Republican governor, Bob Ehrlich, appointed Tim Hutchins, who had eight years service in the General Assembly but had previously been a Maryland state trooper. Whatever you think of the Ehrlich administration overall, that was a credible name to submit to the Senate.
One thing that might be a problem with Jack would be his profile. Since he is currently fairly high profile it might be more difficult to get things done under the radar if Jack was Superintendent. Every move would be scrutinized and picked at.
It night be better to have someone else as Superintendent, that is just as much on our side.
Just a thought from outside the box.
