[Ghost of Philip Marlowe]

My understanding is that as chief executor, the Governor controls all the LEOs, especially in emergency situations, such as if he orders a directive for the DCF to move in and take Terri out. This is the only procedural way to avoid a "shootout" between local and state police. Also, it was my understanding that state police had authority over local police in state issues, for which this situation would qualify.

No? Yes? Sources for further information/confirmation?

I think you are probably correct re emergency situations. If Greer's court is a State court, rather than a county court, (and it probably is) then you are again correct. I didn't think it through as well as you did!
