My confederates,

Since I took up the mantle from my predecessor earlier this month I had been keen on studying the work that she has accomplished during her term--unfortunately cut short--of managing the Bureau. I have reached a conclusion and I would like to take this moment to share it with you.

Layla Miller governed the Bureau with what I see to be a laissez faire style of leadership, eager as she must be to empower the agents, trust in their capabilities, thereby cultivating independence and motivation. No doubt, this has produced excellent work in the past.

However I must tell you now. My method is not similar to Ms. Miller's. Allow me to justify why I will be managing the organization differently.

For our affiliates and those who recognise our work, the B.P.R.D. is a special agency of the highest calibre. They look to us with a great deal of respect and trust, such that must only be properly reciprocated. To tell you the truth, there had been criticisms in the way Ms. Miller had run our agency, especially during the problem with the Book. They saw that it was too lax and detached, even. There were suspicions that the agents have not undergone sufficient training and worse, there are claims that they have behaved questionably leading to some untoward incidents that had placed our public in danger. I am most troubled to say that these are not mere accusations as they are supported by reports and evidence.

My friends, I am not pointing these out to admonish you. Far from it. I write this as a point of deep concern, such that we as an organisation must collectively remedy lest we lose our reputation, our respectability, and ultimately our survival altogether. I promise you this will not happen under my watch. A lot of work needs to be done. I will personally see to this.

To begin with, I have decided to require all members of the Bureau to undergo a Reevaluation and Reassessment from the Deputy Director down the line. Mr. Jenkins have provided me all the files I need and I as your Director, only ask for your utmost cooperation and expect nothing less. Anything else will be regarded with suspicion, and may lead to forced removal under the grounds of insubordination. More information on these will be disclosed as soon as they are available. You may rest assure that all of this is for the better good of our organisation.

That will be all. Thank you and Good Day, Fairfield.
