The rape clearance rate is even worse: 26.1%. And If your vehicle is stolen you have less than 1 in 10 odds that whoever did it will actually be caught. Doesn’t that just make you feel all warm and fuzzy?
Sadly nobody ever wants to fund any of it… It would be nice if we could send DNA evidence to somewhere that doesn’t have a 20 month backlog for felonious convictions 5 states away.
Say you want more money for LEO Diversion programs or behind the scenes stuff all you want, nobody just wants to pay taxes cause the vast majority of everyone is too poor already with swaths of them who refuse to do the one thing they could to help, which is vote lol.
And yet. Try growing some weed or better yet, saw your rifle down to 15.95" instead of 16" and guess who suddenly has the time, manpower, and equipment to come kick in your door.
I just saw a post about someone rejected for the police force for being too smart. I often wonder if we would catch a lot more criminals if cities hired much smarter people as detectives versus promoting from within the ranks.
I’ve read the story a few times over the years and it’s kinda a myth, so feel free to be skeptical.
Apparently there was a program going some 40-50 years ago. Train the best and brightest, deck them with the best equipment available and send them out there as the elite. It failed horribly leading to the highest death count the police force had seen.
With what little money was left, the opposite was done afterwards. Send in the dumbest hicks around and give them free reign.
It worked brilliantly. Crime rates were down, death count for the police force was down, costs were down and the bosses were happy.
Everyone else suffered, but who gave a fuck? And so, the modern police force was born.
yes, that is a very beautiful pile of bullshit.
First who was running this program what is the “police force” because that doesn’t exist in the US. there is a different police force for every county or city
If there’s anything true crime podcasts have taught me, it’s that police imcompetence is not constrained to small towns.
Yes. Remember: About half of all murders in the United States are never solved. Only 52.3% are, to be exact:

What is up with that? How is that not a liability/ lawsuit already?
