Captain Leland Francis Stottlemeyer
is a
fictional
police officer
played by
Ted Levine
on the
American
crime drama
Monk
. He is
Captain
of the
San Francisco Police Department
(SFPD)'s
Homicide
Detail, and a longtime (even if long-suffering) friend of
Adrian Monk
from their days on the force together where he served as Monk's fourth partner and later watch commander. His partner, and source of much strife, is Lieutenant
