can someone give a quick summary on how they became officers im confused

the way i understood it is that the mc threatened the boss and told him that he'll tell the police everything he knows if the boss doesnt give him the director position in a new branch that they have been working on and that's where they are now (im not 100% sure tho)

yeah since boss knows he's been in contact with police + because they killed the guys who were supposed to take that position so the position's free
