Why's anybody even asking a Major if they should do a rape kit? Why's a Major telling them only to do rape kits in certain situations? Victims POSSIBLY being unwilling to testify or not knowing the suspect has no bearing on whether you do a rape it in any professional police department. Rape victims are usually emotional basket cases as a result of the rape and will change their minds 15 times before trial.

The problem at LMPD is Majors are picked based on politics and the good old boy & girl network. Majors pick detectives almost always based on the same practice. What you get are people who don't really know how to do their jobs or don't care if they do it right. A lot of them are there for the unmarked car, either daywork or the overtime pay, and being able to tell people they're a detective. If a woman I knew got raped in this county I'd call a buddy from KSP to do the case.
