1) It’s not their full-time, permanent job.
2) If a crime victim walks in, they are talking to a police-person immediately.
3) You probably don’t know how hard it is to be a receptionist, especially when there are all kinds of legal terms and proper procedures that must be followed.
Because when most people go to Police Departments, they want to speak to a Police Officer, so instead of paying a receptionist, they cut out the middle man and have them doing it, actually saving you money..
They save you money by not hiring extra people to do a job any officer can do and some officers decide to do the office job or one is given desk duty during an investigation.
My department has approximately 1/3 of all the reports taken done by desk personnel from walk ins to a station. This frees up street officers for proactive patrol which prevents crimes, instead of them going form house to house taking reports.
Only an officer can take a report involving a crime. Only an officer is trained to ask the right questions and understands when to get an immediate investigation going. Only a trained officer can interview the parties and send proper information to dispatch as needed.
We have at least one civilian on the desk (they get paid about 1/2 what an officer is paid) who is only allowed to take traffic crash and lost property reports. Sometimes if I was lucky, I had a cadet college intern also, they got paid minimum wage.
Of the 4 officers I had at my desk all were always busy taking reports. Only two were permanent by seniority bid. The others were there because they where recovering from an injury or surgery and could do not heavy work or where about to give birth in a couple of months.
I think it is. I wouldn’t file a report with one, I’d say “no thank you, I’ll just wait for a real cop.”
It’s usually where they put the ones who have been busted doing something illegal.
