Correction: In LAPD, a sergeant-1 (with three stipes) is considered a field supervisor. A lieutenant has the billet of watch commander. That is why Matt Dillion is in the field. He may also be acting as a field training officer, which is why he has a partner. Or, the shift may be low on cars, causing the field supervisor to "double-up", which is not uncommon. A sergeant-2 (with four stripes) has more of an administrative job, to include watch commander if needed.
