Routine patrol in Southwestern part of the city. Lots of reports the previous week regarding gang violence, selling of illegal substances and more. There are some BIG things on the horizon with these players and we need to get to the bottom of it.
We are specifically hunting for a major player with the X Cartel who was a focus of several reports throughout the week. He sells a unique product which has a very specific scent when burned. We felt that, due to the danger posed, an increased police presence would be the best tactic to aggressively handle this threat.
Officer, while patrolling a complex on foot, noticed the signature odor of the X Cartels product. Having established probable cause, I had her open up.
The suspect was uncooperative, denying that she had product. I searched and located the product. At that point the suspect denied she knew the Cartel Head. It was then that I decided to employ unique means to get her to talk.
Through various oral interrogation techniques, the suspect eventually broke. Her submissive nature came out very quickly after employing the first interrogation technique.
Ultimately, the suspect provided valuable information on the Cartel Head, information that I believe will enable us to locate him and deal with him. For these reasons we decided not to charge her with any crime, as she put forth effort and earned this.
