I like Detective Troyer.
He was a very good spokesman for Pierce County, keeping everyone updated with as much detail as he could without compromising the hunt.
He had a couple of great “don’t get stuck on stupid” moments with the media on the first day, and pretty much owned them from that point on.

Agreed on all counts. We have spectacularly professional, hardworking and magnificently competent people throughout law enforcement. It's a terrible shame that their efforts are so frequently upended, negated and overturned by faceless and largely unaccountable bureaucrats and politicians, as well as by laws which mainly serve to coddle criminals and place the honest and law-abiding majority of people at needless risk. My father was a policeman, and his constant complaints of having his hands tied and being prevented from doing the job that he knew needed to be done by bureaucrats, politicians and laws which placed the public at risk were the primary force that kept me from pursuing a career in law enforcement. I am so very, very thankful that we have so many wonderful law enforcement officers who are willing to subject themselves not only to the inherent dangers of the job but to the political and legal forces which seem bent on endlessly restraining law enforcement to the point of keeping the public in danger....I don't have the patience for it but I'm so very glad that there are still many who do.
