twist to it, but I say reality more follows my scenario. That's a good way to put a Mayberry, R.F.D.
I think you can adjust the setup a bit, so that whatever works best for your story is what happens. Non Serviam wrote:Well, that's a fairly cynical view of the police. a junior officer, I'm afraid, because the best three guys in the force walked out the day before yesterday and we're all on double-shifts at the moment.
When mum shows up at the police station, the senior officer sheepishly asks whether she's willing to volunteer for unpaid work on the reception desk, because that'll free up an officer for a few hours to look into it. (Obviously, if you do this the reader will expect the Gruesome George subplot to be resolved before the story ends.)ĭo you want the police to be indifferent?

If the police finds evidence or a new suspect, do they keep the person who reported informed of this progress?Ħ. Is it common to have a search party for a 16-year-old who has suspected to have been kidnapped?ĥ. Who investigates the case deputies or a detective of a sort?Ĥ.

When a person under 18 goes missing, do the police take immediate action?Ģ.

It is mostly a suspense novel, but there are some parts where the police come in. I am writing a first draft of a novel, but I'm stuck because of some crime investigation parts.
