How do Detectives in Farmington go from Det. to Capt.? I guess the ranks of sergeant and lieutenant go right out the window.

It happens because the police chief makes it so.

No the Chief would need to pick among his highest ranking lieutenants, not any officer he wants. They should just throw testing out the window

Most departments Patrol and Detective are just different divisions, not really promotions. Our sheriffs office has patrol, warrants, investigations (det), and so forth. In each division are sgts, lt's, but a patrol officer, warrant officer, and det in investigations are all the same pay grade. Only difference is a marked or unmarked car, and whether you get to wear a uniform or plain clothes. And The union would have a shit fit if a regular officer was promoted to Captain. Once past SGT. you are no longer protected by the union. It is considered a supervisor postition.

^ Interesting.
My memory isn't the greatest, but I do recall that Danny was studying for the detective exam and even got tutoring from Dutch. But Julien just showed up on the ST one day, with nothing mentioned about an exam or any other process. Did I miss something? Wouldn't that look odd given the fact that he and Wyms are both black?

For the moment I'm just assuming that Julien is still ranked as an Officer.
The show has put too much emphasis on the detective exams in the storylines of Dani and Tina for them to just promote Julien out of the blue.

Dany was considered for Strike Team when Tevon was hired. I don't think the strike team has to be detectives, it just happens that 4 of them were.

I'm no cop, but there are special teams where officers can be involved.
