Why investigative excellence matters – now and in the future
The investigation of crime is an important part of policing. But it’s not just “investigating” that matters. It’s excellent investigations that solve crime, enhance public safety and increase the public’s trust and confidence in the police. In addition, it is excellent investigative work that reduces the incidence of wrongful arrest and convictions. And that’s what the people the police are paid to protect have every right to expect from them.
