They have a low clearance rate usually hovering around 50% even for intentional homicides. They're overwhelmed and understaffed. The same size homicide unit and the same numbers of commonwealth attorneys used to handle 40 to 70 homicides in this county in a year. Now they have to keep up with 120 to 130 intentional murders, not even counting the manslaughter and reckless homicide cases. The homicide unit should have doubled in size and been turned over to a Major with multiple Lts. It's another example of how steady-as-she-goes is not a policing strategy.
