Early Signs of Possible Tensions Between Police and Prosecutors

I ran into an article in the Chicago Sun-Times yesterday about how the Chicago Police has been reviewing the overtime hours of it's Detectives. The review seems to center around a sense within the police department that prosecutors have taken over the investigation of cases and are ordering detectives to do additional work on cases. From the article, there seems to be some tension between the police and prosecutors over the way prosecutors order police detectives to do additional work on cases. The article states that about half of the overtime of detectives is due to additional work requested by prosecutors. The article also seems to state that there is some tension between the police and prosecutors over this process.

We will keep on eye on the news to see if there is more to this apparent "tension" between police and prosecutors.
