Does anyone know a BR Homicide Detective?

Just curious.
What's the pay (are they content?) and what's the level of frustration? What's the clearance rate, etc. Anything...like how did they get to Homicide?
I know these guys/ladies have to be just about feeling like there's no light at the end.

"The suspect is a black male with brown eyes and dark curly hair wearing athletic shoes."
Its creepy how accurate some of those guys are.

No but I know a NOLA Homicide detective. He says at this point all he does is walk around counting bodies.

I once had a class at LSU (graduate English class) with a homicide detective. Hadn’t thought about that since 2005 when I was in the class. Wonder if he ever graduated?

Pay is equivalent to like a road supervisor.
Most have degrees of some sort. Road experience is pretty much a must have.
You deal with the general public, of course it's frustrating.
Not a cop, but there is one in the same room right now.

They have my utmost respect. There is no way just anyone can do that job. I am fairly sure one cannot have anxiety/depression and look at a dead body in some ratchet neighborhood. It takes a certain someone. BUT in BR? I would like to meet someone who worked homicide in 1995 and still works it.

Brpd detectives make the same as a patrol officer if I’m not mistaken. So not much

You get desensitized to bodies very quickly

For the most part.
It's the cases that involve kids that make it a really jacked up life.

Why would anyone do it if this is the case?

That's correct. It's not a promotion with the BRPD. Now they'll typically make more that the average officer simply because of the amount of overtime they get due to the amount of homicides BR has had lately. They're extremely short handed, and the clearance rate has suffered because of that.

Good question, but I can understand it just here, in this culture.
Detectives do not risk getting shot at. They show up at the scene when law enforcement is crawling. They don't risk being shot at like patrol. They also likely get a thrill out of being the "solver" and I cannot blame them.

It's something new to try after working patrol for years.
