The hoodlums whom Batman had beaten up the night of the earthquake didn't have any valuable information. They were all idiots who couldn't even explain why or how Batman beat them.
The pros who had been beaten up, on the other hand, were much more valuable.

Captain Jones couldn't be any more satisfied with the triple rewards.
Once he reported the matter, his boss took over the work of negotiating benefits; Jones was quite happy about that too.

In return, Captain Jones would be able to obtain more benefits than if he had taken charge himself.
After Captain Jones's frank speech, the meeting participants reported to their superiors.
