Wessel Ebersohn’s twentieth rule of thriller writing

Some thriller writers who have private detective heroes, routinely show the police as being stupid, while the hero is brilliant. This is juvenile stuff. The police are certainly not stupid. That kind of portrayal of them will not appeal to any except the most prejudiced or the stupidest reader. Treat the cops with respect. It will make your writing more realistic – and better.
