I watch a bunch of those crime dramas, CSI, Close To Home, NCIS, NUMB3RS, Criminal Minds etc... n I'm a little confused as to how realistic their duties are. CSI for example investigates all these murders, CSI officers do duties that I would expect a deputy to perform, such as entering a home with weapon drawn and clearing the house before looking for evidence, and they hold interrogations that I would expect a detective to do. Law & Order Criminal Intent shows detectives doing all the murder investigations and interrogations, Close To Home shows the DA doing all the investigating and interrogating. All the shows have shown CSI or CSU at some point and play down their role as being absolutely minimalist, each show overlaps into departments that other shows are based around, but they all seem to carry out the same duties.
So my question to anyone who knows is... how much involvement and what duties do each department really have? Because each show would have you believe that the department that show is based around is THE department that does ALL the work with a little help here n there from the other departments.
I enjoy the shows, but that question as always been on my mind lol, which show as the most accurate depiction of what that department does.
