Gain 60 pounds, grow a goatee and talk about how much better it was when you were on the road. Clear one case a month. Show up at 9:00 am, spend the first 2 hours talking about what you did the night before, spend the next hour talking about where you're going to lunch, go to lunch for 2 hours. Come back to the office, return 3 phone calls, write a case supplement that says "attempted contact, unsuccessful." Spend the next 3 hours talking about how great it is to be able to wear khakis and a polo shirt to work. Go home and repeat the next day.Originally posted by K40To me, open carry is the equivalent of the couple making out and groping each other at the food court in the mall. Yeah, they are probably legal, as long as they don't start getting undressed. But they are still social retards.Comment

Rule #1: Learn how to ignore smart *** remarks from jealous road cops who didn't put in for a detective slot.Be dangerous, and unpredictable... and make a lot of noise. - John Bush, AnthraxComment

Talk to dirt bags, all the time. As much it might pain you, be nice to dirt bags. Detective work is an information driven business. Without info, you won't make cases. I've made more cases on Joe Dirtbag calling me up and saying "Hey, So&So is bragging that he's got a bunch of computers for sale."
Find a guy in your unit who knows what he's doing and making cases. Tag along on as many field excursions as you can.
Ask questions of the guys who will answer them.
Don't let a case with active leads sit. Be aggressive and track down those leads. Get creative.
Take copious notes. Write down EVERYTHING no matter how trivial you might think it is. You'd be amazed how often one little tidbit of info will suddenly be a major piece of the puzzle once more facts comes in.\Comment

Being organized as a Defective is different than that of a road officer. Get business cards and give them out like candy. People will call you, usually when it benefits them, but you need CIs. You don't have to be a dick to those you arrest because today's suspect will want to help themselves out tomorrow. Some people are exceptions. Don't forget where you came from. If a road Officer is going to get stuck with your prisoner or on your crime scene while you're writing a SW, then TELL them what's going on. Note everything. Every call. Every message left. Everything. It's been my experience, people complain more on Detectives than road Officers (for different reasons). I have a checklist that I use and I put it in the front of every case I start. I'm more than willing to send it to you (as well as a death investigation checklist) when I get back to work if you think it'll help (it's helped me bunches). Send me your work email addy and I'll get it to you as soon as I go back to work.sigpic
I don't agree with your opinion, but I respect its straightforwardness in terms of wrongness.Comment
