Every time you solve a crime and put someone behind bars, you can pat yourself on the back. Enjoy these moments because, unlike on TV, you won’t crack every case. But you can enjoy your frozen dinner each night knowing that you bust pimps and pedophiles.

There is nothing better than going to the home of a victim and saying, “We got the SOB.”
