In order to not just get the recommendations, but the confessions, the person who gets in will either be someone really trusted or kind of a scumbag. Either way, what happens next is that the person who becomes chief is then told to apprehend the people he got the confessions from, or to keep marks on them, or lose their position. The person may be hesitant to do this, but in the end will probably go along with it in order to not lose the position they just won.
Time goes on, they fill the role more, yada yada yada. The town will also start asking more of the person whose become police chief. By some point, the police chief will feel obligated to do what they're asked, whether they mean to or not. Most likely, the town will eventually ask the police chief to do something that goes against the rest of us, and realizing it as part of his obligation, the chief'll do so, perhaps without realizing the consequences of what comes next.
At that point, if the chief did act against the wishes of the rest of us/clearly allied himself with the town? Just about everyone would turn on him. And he'd pretty much be stuck with the position and the town, fostering even more contempt for the town itself and then for us. He'll become sullen, bitter, and essentially dependent on the town since the town'll at least take him unlike the rest of us who'd reject him.
Its not necessarily major, but hey. It at least guarantees the town has a new Grady.
