Welcome to MDPD new guy. Those bureaus went down hill a few years ago.

The Who you know disease got to them, so the wrong people went there.

Homicide has been in a downward spiral.. Senior and very qualified people have transferred out of here because they can't stand the absurd management here and their two face decisions. They "cut" overtime yet allow a specific group work (overtime) as much as they want with no accountability. Yet they are not arresting or closing cases. It's very sad that our command staff is allowing this to occur.. This is a bureau that requires nothing but the best and where tough decisions need to be made before it gets any better. More transfers are coming unfortunately...

I didn't see any transfers from narcoitcs.. Heard they just wanted to continue with their past regimes scams.. Now they have command staff that holds them accountable..

The truth is that those bureaus were all exposed of the corruption and laziness that happens there. Those places have always had pre-madonas sucking up all the overtime and doing little for the people. Simple truth is when you see places cleaned out, it's usually a good sign that a "Mad Dog" has taken up shelter and can't be fed BS. I wouldn't be surprised if they clean them out some more.

I can't speak about narcotics, but with regards to Homicide it was 100% poor administration that killed it. Homicide has become the new friends and family bureau. The upper command staff keep bringing their friends through to pad their resume. For years other agencies came to observe us and model their agencies after ours and a whole new command staff (with little to no investigative experience) came in and decided it wasn't working. Homicide went from one of the most professional bureaus in The eastern US to a mediocre GIU and the experienced guys are abandoning ship. I count 8 homicide detectives on the last Sgt list. Not to mention the ones that already left. Says a lot when that many people would rather end up in midnight uniform than make 140k+ a year. ( and despite some of the BS I see on this board... they earned that 140k.)

Wow! I don't know about homicide but great job to narcotics! I've been seeing almost on a weekly basis there investigations and arrests on tv. Whatever it is that they are doing keep it up!

What, or who, is the main reason why these two Bureaus have "fallen off"? Inexperience is probably one. But what personnel should these Bureaus get rid off to rid the cancer making this places sick?
