Not giving them the credit you think they deserve because she did the footwork, they came in at the end to wrap it up after the hard (complex) part was done.That is her interpretation. The likely scenario is the detective may have been investigating a shooting or a murder, but the property crime goes to the bottom of the list so the violent crimes can be solved first. The reason is most police agencies are under staffed.
I answered your questions to the best of my ability. Answer this. Why are the police not given credit for solving this complex crime? How is it a failure, if law enforcement solved the case?
