FBI and US Police are Pretty Inefficient

In a seminar at Dubai, a speaker was of the opinion that the police forces of the developing world were riddled with corruption and generally inefficient as they could not stop crime. One will agree to an extent, but I am afraid the US police and the FBI do not look to be very efficient either. Their crime detection rate is also pretty poor. The numbers of kidnappings in the USA that go undetected are very large. The recent case where a Cuban immigrant kidnapped 3 girls and kept them hostage to his sexual desires is a case in point. The girls were kept in a house for 10 years, pretty close from where they were kidnapped. One wonders about the US law enforcement agencies that could not detect this crime for 10 years and would have perhaps gone undetected for another 10 years in case one of the girls had not escaped and alerted the police. One wonders how even the FBI which investigates kidnapping, as it is a federal offence failed. What was their missing person’s squad doing all these years? This is not the only case and police records show that dozens of such cases go undetected.
