Hello, they changed the Cheif Superintendents for a few reasons:

Within the show: 1. Blake made life difficult for Matthew Lawson and evdeintly lead to him being watched by his superiors in Melbourne. In late series 2 Lawson is sent to Melbourne for a special branch hearing and hence leaves the show for a while, where he is replaced by his old commander Doug Ashby.

Doug Ashby is commander for a while until Melbourne sends a new superintendent to take over from Lawson. He is replaced when William Munroe turns up.

Munroe takes over from Ashby who stood in for Lawson, and while he is in charge he makes life difficult for everyone, especially Blake.Then Mathew comes back from Melbourne having been demoted. Lawson and Munroe are both at the station with Munroe still in charge until the end of the series where dear old Mathew proves that Munroe is the one who is corrupt not him. Munroe is sent to Melbourne and Lawson is reinstated as Superintendent and as commanding officer.

Lawson is once again commanding officer and then he is seriously injured after saving Charlie and has to retire. When he retires. Frank Carlyle comes in to replace him. And he us now the current Cheif superintendent.

2. Lucien makes life difficult for everyone and his actions lead to his senior officers being put under investigation by Melbourne. Then he helps to get rid of the corrupt superintendent. So basically....the reason they keep changing is because of Blake. Except for Ashby who was never really back to begin with and except for Lawsons retirement which wasn't his fau,t either.

In real life:

1. Joel Tobecks avalbility for filming.

I know it's very confusing but that's it....in a very long winded nutshell.
