Police Captains/lieutenants are always angry at their star detective and yell at him, threatening suspension if he doesn't drop the case.
-
Corollary: it is only _after_ the detective has been suspended that he can properly crack the case.
-
Many police chiefs are in constant contact with their city's mayor who will often "chew their ass" about a single criminal investigation out of the thousands going on in a city.
-
The police will never question the hero, even if he kills lots of bad guys
-
The cops never show up during massive gun battles in city streets that involve bystanders and exploding cars. After the fact, you might just a siren in the distance.
-
More murders always happen during the investigation of the first one. The last living suspect is the murderer.
-
Most homicide detectives are brooding, near-crazed loners, most likely divorced or widowed, borderline alcoholics. Of course, there are more respectable-looking detectives, but they are inept and not nearly as tough as their mentally-troubled colleagues.
-
Many detectives are recruited directly from the police academy, therefore accounting for youthful "seasoned detectives".
