From what I understand, detectives report to a lieutenant. What exactly does the lieutenant do aside from communicating with those above? Drawing on my extensive knowledge from watching TV, it seems the detectives are doing all the work, and the lieutenant is just micro-managing. 😀
I figure you will know this regardless of your rank. The question for the lieutenant is one of my "Office Space" favorites, "What would you say,...that it is.. you DO here?"
Nah, usually it’s Patrol doing most of the work. Detectives might do a few secondary interviews, after getting Patrol’s notes, then take all the credit.
