“Our approach is to be objective. We’re police, we’re evidence gatherers and we will let the evidence take us where the cases need to go. But in the early stages where we walk in the door, victims should be comfortable they’ll be talking to someone who believes them.”

I would have thought that police and society would want a system whereby when police walk in the door, everyone involved is treated with respect.  Victims and those accused should be comfortable they'll be talking with someone who doesn't prejudge them. Belief has nothing to do with it. 

By the way...is it possible to believe something when you first hear of it and yet also believe in your own objectivity.
