"(Police) Chief Steve Chalmers was unavailable. He has been on personal leave, though HE CONTINUES TO WORK, and is abreast of developments...".

How is it that Chalmers is on leave, but continues to work? Early on it was City Manager Patrick Baker who answered questions about why it took so long to search the party house, and in the article above he is explaining the actions of detectives who sneaked into Edens to question players.

If Chalmers is absent, why isn't the second-in-command police officer speaking for the PD, instead of Baker?

I think there must be safety concerns and future community relations' concerns.
