Most agencies have a set of checks and balances such as a recruiter or recruiting unir, background investigators and a board to review applications. Sounds like this guy found a way to sidestep the process. Good thing it was caught

How do you get hired as a police chief with an active out of state warrant? Shouldn't the state police certification program have spotted that?
Also was he literally driving around with no license giving tickets to others?

Coffee city isn't much of a city with a population of only around 300. It looks like they hired this police chief and he used his position to create his own little crime family by boosting the police force up to 50 officers as a way of generating revenue with fines. Why would a small one horse town like this need its own police department? They have now fired the entire town police force and are using the County Sheriff for law enforcement. The city government was apparently happy with this police chief as long as he was generating revenue for the city. Now that the scam has been exposed they have cut him loose.

This is not a dig at Lobo, because it was before his time,...but about 35 years ago, when Surprise was just a bump in the road on the way to Vegas,...Surprise P.D. had a nasty reputation for similar crap. Its growth and resulting prying eyes looking inward changed that, fortunately.
Dad and I used to occasionally visit the long shuttered Sun City Sportsmans Range (just west of where the 303 crosses Grand Ave. today), and the moment we crossed over the river at Youngtown, Dad was always nervous as we traveled NW on Grand Ave, despite being former PhxPD himself, because at that time it was the City of Surprise's chief revenue source. And to be fair, plenty of people used it like a runway and drove in a manner deserving police attention. But that wasn't necessarily required in order to get pulled over back then.
