On Wednesday, Garcia ordered Capt. Brian Fitzgerald, head of the Detective Bureau, transferred to patrol; Capt. Roderick Porter, head of community services, to patrol; Capt. Kevin Gilleran, from special services to head of the Detective Bureau; Capt. Steven Lougal, from patrol to special services; and Capt. Lonnie Blackwell, from patrol to administrative services.
Garcia would not comment on the transfers.
Fitzgerald, Porter and Lougal filed an injunction request in Superior Court Friday to block their transfers. No hearing date on the request has yet been set.
