I pretty much don't believe in psychic abilities (although I'll keep an open mind).
But...
if criminals do, and think that there's nothing they can do do prevent a psychic from catching them...
then maybe it serves as a crime deterrent for those believers....
I think if police agencies spend money on psychics, then it's a waste of money. But it might make a "good" impression for those impressionable would-be criminals.
Who knows...?
Cheers

About my avatar: This is a smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) simulation of the merger of two galaxies. The code was written by Volker Springel of the Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics at Garching Germany. This simulation uses 20,000 disk particles (stars) and 40,000 halo particles (dark matter) per galaxy. The three views are, from left to right, the x-y plane, x-z plane, and y-z plane. |

| I don't think the police should endorse psychics in any way, shape, or form. It gives credibility to an industry that by and large preys off the gullible and/or desperate. |
