So this doesn’t work for a variety if reasons. The biggest being stability. Investigator is a technical and important job, you need a certain level of IQ and EQ to perform the role effectively. No one with a good combination of intelligence and know how would wait around for 90 days for their job to reopen. You would immediately lose them to the private sector. Police retain people based on job security and home life stability, especially as you climb the ranks. Second, this does not account for when no qualified candidates are found. Police departments are often understaffed now for these roles. There’s also no greater command structure. If higher rolls have a similar system you are even less likely to find qualified candidates. It will eventually debase into the same two peopke running everytime and just becoming the full time investigators anyway. Something similar will happen with your consultants. Either every group will need the same small pool or they will just eventually be the go to corruptible person. On top of all this you still need beat cops or patrol officers, which despite their current reputation in America do provide valuable services to the community. A first responder sitting at home doesn’t help anyone one when seconds matter most.
