Police Procedural Novels & Stories

The officer gave a tired shrug. “I understand why you are upset,” he said. “But things do not work that way. We cannot release every detail the moment something happens. There is a process. Reports have to be filed. Different departments have to be informed first. We have already sent out alerts to the right people, and officers are searching for him. We are following the law and the proper procedures.” “That is not good enough,” I said, my voice rising. “I know it is frustrating,” he replied. “But rushing things only creates more problems. Right now, all we can do is keep searching and hope we catch him before he gets too far.”

The police officer walked up to the driver's window and signaled for the window to be wound down. “Good day sir. How's the day going?” The policeman asked the driver. “Sorry for the diversion. The accident was quite gruesome. A hit-and-run, and the driver is still in the wind. So a large-scale manhunt is in process now.” The officer explained politely. “Oh. Of course. I understand the protocol officer. I hope you catch the culprit.” The driver replied. The officer nodded his head. “License and registration please.” He said to the driver. As the driver searched for his documents, the officer scrutinized the interior of the car. His eyes stared at Jasper suspiciously.

The young police officer walked up to Dominic and demanded, "What can we do for you, Mr. Hartless?" "What kind of an incompetent station is this? My kids have been missing for hours and you all have the guts to open your fucked up mouth and talk about some fucking twenty-four hours rule?" "But that's part of the laws governing this station. A law that we all have to follow as police officers." A scoff left Dominic's lips and he shot the short man before him a deadly glare that got his knees quivering in fear. Leaning closer, Dominic's terrifying voice boomed once again,

I handed her the phone. She took it. Read. Scrolled. Read again. Neither of us spoke. There wasn't much to say. The evidence spoke perfectly well on its own. Ten minutes later the police arrived. Statements. Documentation. Photographs. Procedure. The city loved procedure. It made people feel like things were under control. Two officers escorted Hannah toward the vehicle. She walked without resistance. Which bothered me more than resistance would have. Cornered people fought. Hannah looked relieved. Another detail filed away.

DCP Thomas said, as they climbed into the car. “Oh that’s great, where?” Danny asked. “Stanford” DCP Thomas said. “I decided to join the police force out of sheer patriotism” DCP Thomas said, obviously enjoying the look of surprise on the American’s face. “And you? I bet you have a law degree” DCP Thomas said. Danny nodded. “Which school did you attend?” DCP Thomas asked. “Columbia” Danny replied “That’s great, FBI agents are known to have law degrees most of the time, which accounts for their smartness” DCP Thomas said

"That's what normal people do. They don't follow women to hospitals. They don't stand in corridors arguing about who owns who." Lucien looked at her. For a moment, something almost like respect crossed his face. Then it was gone. "The police won't come," he said. "Not for a parked car. Not for a nobody from South Philly with no connections and no evidence. They'll take a report. They'll file it. They'll forget it. And when something happens, they'll say we're sorry for your loss and move on to the next case." "How do you know?" Mia demanded. "Because I've paid them to do exactly that," Lucien said. "For other people. Other problems. The system works for people like me. It ignores people like

“They planned this. Not you.” The police were thorough but polite, the sort of politeness that exists when law meets a moneyed name. Notes, forms, official-sounding lines about jurisdiction and interdepartmental cooperation. A detective with tired eyes took my statement and then left, promising to call “as soon as there’s movement.” His tie was loose, he did not make promises he could not keep. I understood their restraint. This was not a case that would play out in a single night. This was the kind of thing that woke the city up and left it grousing in its sleep.

I was heading back on patrol, certain that something would happen eventually. I really hadn't considered this heroic work to be so uneventful most of the time. Usually in TV shows, they're getting into some kind of trouble all the time. At that point, I'd find salvation in a good old-fashioned police chase through the city. I sighed heavily, not willing to give up just yet. After all, the darker it got, the shadier the characters that come out.

“I've only read one of them and that was over a year ago, so maybe I'm not being fair, but they don't seem to touch on these issues. - What do you mean? “Your policeman is a purebred, Australian Aboriginal. He has some kind of mystical, spiritual connection with mythical beings. Right? - Yes. With your totem and Dreamtime ancestor spirits. although some argue that they are not mythical. She nodded. - Right. Anyway, I understand that your protagonist always solves the crime, and it's a struggle for him to hide the involvement of the spirits. - Yes. Well, it seemed pretty formulaic, but what the heck, most successful mystery series depended on some formula already tested. “And he has problems
