Writing a Romantic Suspense Novel- Need Answers about Law Enforcement and 911 Procedure?

10. That's a good point about jurisdiction!

I hadn't thought about that. I will have to rework the first chapter. I am writing him as just having come home from closing a serial killer case and that he's exhausted and on the edge of burn out. I want him to reluctantly get involved with the mystery of the skeleton in the wall and protecting his new neighbor.

So I will either have to rework how he initially gets dragged in entirely or as the above poster suggested explain a reason why he chose to bypass protocol. I didn't have him touch the skeleton because I figured he'd definitely know not to disturb evidence.

I do know some lawyers in town, as I took some paralegal courses, so maybe they can tell me who in the police or Sheriff's office might be open to talking to a beginning writer about police procedure.

Thank you!
