superior, Borough Commander Haverill, after Sipowicz suspected that Haverill was planning on transferring Fancy to another precinct because Haverill was an un-subtle racist who wanted a white male to take over the 15th. Fancy made it clear that he respected Sipowicz's investigative talents, refusing to transfer Sipowicz out of the 15th when given the opportunity to. Fancy suspected that transferring Sipowicz would result in his replacement being another bigot (as a message from Fancy's white bosses) who would have a near 0% chance of being anywhere as talented a detective as Andy was.

Bayside, Queens incident In Season 4, Fancy and his wife were stopped at a traffic light and treated in a rough and possibly racist manner by two uniformed police officers in Bayside, Queens. The following day, Fancy called the officers in, claiming that they had overreacted pulling them over and treating them as if they were suspects in an armed robbery. After questioning the officers, Fancy concluded that he and his wife were pulled over at gunpoint strictly on the basis of their race.

Fancy recommended that Szymanski go to a precinct located either in Harlem or Brooklyn North; Szymanski was reassigned to a precinct in Brooklyn's Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood. He then came to Fancy, furious over having been reassigned to a "toilet", claiming that Fancy wrongfully abused his power - which Fancy frankly admitted to doing, pointing out, "When you pull someone over, no telling who you're dealing with". Captain Bass then came to Fancy, telling him that putting Szymanski in Bedford-Stuyvesant was a bad
