Surely you’re not suggesting non-LEO office staff make determinations of what crimes to pursue
Someone on a phone in an office somewhere.
Depends on the county. It does not matter WHO investigates, it is the Prosecutor's Office that screens the case for charges and determines what, if any, charges get filed. Like it or not, you can take these as serious as a heart attack only to have the screener turn you away without charges. How serious should we take a legit crime if we know that no charges are likely to be filed?Identity and credit card theft? Call the State Police. If you're not satisfied, ask for a supervisor. They should take this very seriously....

Guess I should have added “care to investigate”. The way I see it the issues the police address should be the ones that the public feel are important. Fraud and identify theft are huge hassles. Pot smoking/growing is not. But look at the amount of resources given to the two.
If a citizen has a crime against us, where does the police/prosecutor have authority to refuse to investigate it? I understand there’s is more crime than investigators, but I don’t see efforts made to expand into areas we have needs. Granted, i’m Not paying all that close of attention, i’m Just hearing crickets when I report crimes that happen to me and it’s very irritating. It can be the difference between a Successful business And a failed business.
If you think IMPD and MCPO give a crap about pot smoking/growing, you are misinformed. About the only time anyone gets excited about it is when the weight is in the multiple pounds. I'm all for legalizing it, I just don't want to be around people smoking it.Guess I should have added “care to investigate”.

You make the report to a patrol officer. A detective does the follow-up.Me either though apparently that’s how it appeared. What is the proper term for those you report crime to?
If it doesn't involve a vehicle on the interstate, they aren't interested.Identity and credit card theft? Call the State Police. If you're not satisfied, ask for a supervisor. They should take this very seriously....
that’s our problem though. The system doesn’t care. Same with stolen pills (the rare time it’s actually true).
frustrsting when plenty of tax dollars are taken to deal with crime in places I don’t live committed by people I subsidize, but when i’m Directly affected i’m Told there’s nothing anyone will do about it
Does everyone who comes in the ER get equal amounts of attention and resources from you? Or do you, based on your experience, use your time, staff, and resources where it accomplishes the most? Do you have rules and guidelines you have to follow from your administration, legal department, applicable state laws?
Should I, with my outdated EMT certs, come and tell you how you're doing it wrong and what you should really focus on? I mean, I haven't been paying much attention to medical stuff but people are sick and hurt and you should be doing something. That's basically what you're doing to us.
There are cases I put in literally days of man-hours on. There are cases I make a phone call on and close out. You know why? You call it "triage". Same-same. Some cases are dead on arrival, there is nowhere to start and nothing remotely likely to result in a successful resolution. Other cases I can work and I run it down until it's successful or everything is done and there's nothing left to do, but I still don't have enough.
The odds of getting a conviction based solely on video of someone using a card depends very much on the quality of the video. Most isn't good enough for "beyond a reasonable doubt". It's not like we're saying "screw it, let criminals go free" any more than you're saying "screw it, let hurt/sick people die". Sometimes that's what happens, though.
IMPD has a prescription fraud unit that is very busy and puts a lot of cases on people. One of the Sgts is driving a newer Camaro convertible that was seized during an investigation.
I think if people were allowed to snaps the neck of someone who steals their identity or credit, there might be less of it. Not easy to find them, but after a few . . .
We see everyone. The sickest get the most resources but all who ask get some. Some get seen by a PA, others by an ER doc, some are admitted, most are discharged. Utilization of resources.
So not everyone gets the same response. Why are you not letting everyone see a doctor? Are you saying some people are more important than others? Some don't deserve a doctor? Are you so lazy and understaffed you can't get everyone who comes a doctor? I don't see why that's too much to ask instead of pawning it off on some PA. Isn't it Physician's Assistant, not Physician's Replacement? Just hire more doctors. Then everybody gets a better trained person to do their treatment, and maybe the doctor notices something a PA would miss and you save more
