I have heard various answers as to how many stars a police chief wears on his uniform. Some say its based on department size, other say the number of years in the chief's position. Any answers?
The Assistant Chief usually holds three stars. "Assistant Chief" has many different variable names, and sometimes has different functions depending on departments.

They have 4 stripes, and they have 2 stars.
Unless the officers are on patrol, many of their duties can be performed without the uniform. Most prefer to wear the uniform.
Yes, a mayor can legally terminate a police chief from their position, as the mayor typically has the authority to hire and fire department heads, including the police chief, in many municipalities.
The answer depends on which specific department. In many departments it is a Police Chief, but that is one title among many.
