What Kind of Hand is in this Cookie Jar ?

Many departments have contingency or "flower" funds for their officers. These funds serve to set aside monies used for holiday/Christmas parties, cookouts or flowers for deceased members of an employee's family. Officers opt to have money deducted from their paychecks for this very reason. The problem is that in one department, none of the employees have access to the fund. The chief is the sole caretaker of the officer's money and he alone decides how the money is spent while flatly refusing to gave any account of where the money is kept or how much is actually there!
