Capt. Don Hadley was head of LAPD's Office of Homeland Security as of 2006. The office was created in response to the terrorist attacks of 9/11/2001 and the creation of the federal Homeland Security Agency. The purpose of the LAPD office was interface with federal agencies in cases of suspected terrorism within L.A. 

Hadley's sudden rise from second in command of Valley Division Traffic to head of this prestigious squad was surprising to many in the department. It may have had something to do with the fact that his twin brother, James Hadley, was a member of the politically-appointed Police Commission. Hadley attempted to give his unit a unique identity, and he ordered black uniforms in place of the department's standard Navy Blue. He also tried to create a high profile for himself and his officers by appearing at numerous press conferences and crime scenes, even when there was no terrorism link. His habit of showing up where he wasn't needed or wanted earned him the nickname Capt. Done Badly.
