View submission: Detective completely overhauled the way his department handled rape cases, greatly improving the clearance rate | Why aren't his tactics more widely adopted?

I think a lot of departments would have a serous staffing issue sending someone to training for an entire week.

Unless you are a major department, patrol crushes everything it touches with a hammer. We had a designated SVU unit with all of the things described and still have a low clearance rate. Rape kits don’t get tested and we lack detectives.

Yeah, I don't know how to work around that. But it sounds like its brass' problem to solve, and not an excuse.
