Loeb, under the bankroll of Carmine Falcone, who made sure Loeb and his force did not interfere with his operations.<br/><br/>The strongest blow against police corruption in the force came when an increasing amount of conspiracy charges against Loeb forced him to resign his position, replaced by Peter Grogan. The Falcone crime family, which had a stranglehold on Gotham's underground for generations, finally crumbled when a series of killings shook the structure of the mafia organization. After the death of Carmine Falcone, the mob lashed out in sloppy, retaliatory crimes, which, in combination with rising gang crime.<br/><br/>Simultaneously, the ebbing presence of corrupt police officers allowed Harvey Bullock to become the new commissioner, a man determined to eradicate crime wherever it existed. Bullock has served for a long period, until messy politics began to chip away at his position.<br/><br/>The GCPD has had a long love-hate relationship with the city's vigilante known as Batman. Commissioner Bullock saw the Batman as a threat even though he oftern got the job done. The GCPD were put to the test during the Apocalypse Invasion and many brave officers lost their lives. Bullock dosent have tolerance for masks and capes especially after they killed his good friend James Gordon.
