As a serious question, what would criminal investigation look in a future where we could fire all cops and build a new criminal justice system? For the purpose of this discussion, lets say the goal of criminal investigations is to accurately solve major crimes such as Murder, Rape, and other violent crimes. In 2018, we nationally, the US had a 63% clearance rate on murders, 45% on violent crimes, and 34% on rape. (1) Would splitting the CSI/Detectives into a separate department, with separate unions be enough to prevent the current levels of corruption and racism from reemerging? Looking at LAPD, people are eligible to be hired as detectives after having spent atleast 3 years a regular officer, which comes after 18 months in the academy.(2) Would breaking up these career paths even further improve the culture of detectives and help remove the biases learned in the police academy and as a beat cop? The quickest path from hiring to promotion to a detective is approximately 4 years; What kind of way can we use that 4 year timespan to train detectives who are more able to effectively solve crimes accurately, without falling into patterns of blaming minorities and other disadvantaged people? I'd also like opinions on whether the local structure of investigation also hinders our ability properly solve crimes. Would we be better off with centrally run detective bureaus, either at a state level or even a federal level (though I guess federally run would probably be unfeasible and kinda overlap with the FBI).
