90% of the job is dealing with drunk and disorderly people or descalating domestic disputes. That knocks a lot of High IQ/EQ people off the list.

My mother was a dispatcher for 15 years. I was in our local areas explorers program. It’s exactly what you see on Live PD. Traffic stops, drunk and disorderly people, drug busts, or domestic disputes. Cops do almost no detective work. Investigators do that.

Why not? Not enough crime to solve?

I answered that question. It’s a separate job to investigate.

Regular cops are first responders not investigators.
