Retiring detective's advice for community: 'Raise your kids'
Doyle Burke was a street cop fresh out of the Dayton police academy in 1978 and working the midnight shift when he first saw homicide detectives in action.
"We had a lot of homicides on the midnight shift — still do. The uniform officers would get little or no cooperation (from witnesses). But as soon as the homicide guys came in, they took charge and nobody challenged them. If somebody refused to talk, they'd say, 'OK, he's the first guy to go in for questioning.' I thought, 'OK, that's me. I want to be there.'?"
