| - Stanislaus Valchek is a career officer in the Baltimore Police Department. Valchek was former commander of the South-eastern District, embodying the remaining white ethnic neighbourhoods in Baltimore, and is a political survivor and bureaucratic player of the first order. Backed by Andrew Krawczyk, the politically influential developer who has a stranglehold on the city's valuable waterfront real estate, and an early backer of Councilman Carcetti's run for mayor, Valchek is never above a behind-the-scenes manipulation. When his son-in-law Prez needed a new assignment and a fresh start, Valchek palmed him off on the Barksdale unit which Cedric Daniels organized. On the occasion that union leader Frank Sobotka clashed with him over a petty church matter, Valchek ordered an investigation into the affairs of the shady longshore-man in an effort to bring him down. While not the most enlightened or competent commander in the department, Valchek's connection to the city's white voting block ensures that his voice will always be heard. His loyalty to Tommy Carcetti ultimately lands him the position of Deputy Commissioner of Administration in the Baltimore City Police Department, notwithstanding the unanimous dislike Commissioner Burrell and Deputy Ops Rawls share for him. He appears sporadically throughout the series, playing a prominent role in the second season.
