Icon Use of comma after the title/position of a certain individual

Hi! Good morning! I hope all is well on your side. I have a few questions regarding the scorecard of my book review. :D

I was referring to the leader and his team. Just wondering about this one. I hope you can enlighten me on this.

You need to request a recheck. That is where the editor would answer your question, not here. Give them the information you shared here. They probably thought the Chief Inspector and Jim Sheehan were two different people.
