I'm a former local and native of the area. The relationship between the CoS and the politics of the city is very complex, but suffice it to say that most of the locals are actually protective of the government and know the CoS will try to infiltrate it because Operation Snow White back in the 1970s was a wake up call.
In the McPhearson case, for example, the pressure on the medical examiner came from the outside, not the inside.
